Oppn lashes out 'tokenism', calls PM visit a 'farce'
The New Indian Express Chennai
|September 14, 2025
TERMING Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Manipur a 'belated farce', the Opposition parties, including Congress, CPM, TMC and National Conference (NC) on Saturday alleged that the trip is a grave insult to the people of the state.
Accusing the PM of organising a grand welcome ceremony for himself, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge said that it "is a cruel prick" to the wounds of those still suffering.
"Narendra Modi ji, your 3-hour pit stop in Manipur is not compassion -- it's farce, tokenism, and a grave insult to wounded people. Your so-called roadshow in Imphal and Churachandpur today, is nothing but a cowardly escape from hearing the cries of people in relief camps!" Kharge said in a post on X.
