“The Prime Minister has not gone to Manipur because he doesn’t consider it a part of India. You (BJP) have divided Manipur,” Gandhi said, amid loud protests from the treasury benches. He claimed that the central government could end the bloodshed in Manipur by deploying the army, but has refused to do so.
