The Congress Saturday described Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Manipur visit as a “pit stop”, and said it was “shockingly insensitive” of him to be there “for less than five hours” when he has the time and inclination to spend days campaigning and travelling worldwide.

Congress general secretary in charge of communications, Jairam Ramesh, said the people of Manipur have been undergoing tremendous pain, distress, suffering, and agony for the past 28 months ever since violence erupted in the state.

“The people of Manipur have waited patiently for the Prime Minister to visit the state. He has finally obliged them today. But he was in the state, from landing till takeoff, for less than 5 hours,” he said on X.
