Aizawl: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is on a two-day visit to the election-related state of Mizoram, slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party and accused the government of attacking the idea of Manipur and dividing the state into two parts.
Rahul Gandhi, who was addressing a rally in Mizoram on Monday, attacked the ruling government for perpetrating violence across the country.
Hinging his words against the BJP, the Congress leader said the government has spread violence across the state and destroyed the concept of Manipur and it is no longer one state but two states.
Criticizing PM Modi for not paying attention to what is happening in Manipur, Rahul Gandhi said, “They attack different communities, different religions, they spread violence in the country.
They exude arrogance, lack of understanding, and are completely against the idea of India. Because we believe about India that it respects everyone, protects everyone. A few months ago I went to Manipur and I couldn’t believe what I saw.
The concept of Manipur has been destroyed by BJP. It is no longer one state, now it is two states. People are killed, women are molested, children are killed but the Prime Minister does not find it important to visit the state.
It is amazing to me that the Prime Minister and the government are so interested in what is happening in Israel but not in Manipur.
“An old connection with the people of Mizoram, remember when the peace accord was signed, a new era began in Mizoram. We changed from a violent Mizoram to a peaceful Mizoram.
The older generation knows the violence and hatred prevalent in the state. A few months ago I traveled from Kanyakumari to Kashmir and covered a distance of 4000 km. Today we walked 2 km.
But what I wanted to convey in the message is the same. The idea of Bharat Jodo, an India that respects each other, that is tolerant, that learns from other ideas, religions, and that loves itself completely, is under attack by the BJP,” he said. Rahul Gandhi added.
Rahul Gandhi further criticized the government for not paying attention to the issues of the country’s minority groups, the tribals, but is more interested in playing the politics of appeasement. “No one is talking about the pain, the pain of what is happening in Manipur.
It is a shame that the union leader did not travel to the violence-torn state of Manipur. You can see the same problem in smaller form in other parts of the state. People belonging to minority groups, tribals, Dalits, are feeling uneasy. India is being oppressed. The Idea of India is under attack.”
“We are fighting an election here and I would like you to consider what the government has done in the last five years? Drugs are rampant in the coming generations. 250 youths have lost their lives because of it.
And while BJP attacks your culture, tradition, religion, MNF supports BJP in Delhi. In the last 5 years the MNF government has created only 2000 jobs in the state.
The infrastructure is crumbling and they are destroying the economic condition of the state”, Gandhi added in his speech.
