Manipur refuses permission from Congress. 

Despite the silent response from the nation, a group of Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) members, led by President K Meghachandra Singh, met Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Wednesday. The Chief Minister maintained his decision to decline permission for the rally scheduled on January 14, citing the prevailing law and order situation.

Expressing disappointment, the Congress president criticized the government’s response, calling it a “murder of democracy” and a violation of people’s rights, especially in Manipur. In response, Meghachandra Singh announced that the Congress party would organize the rally at a private venue in Khongjom, Thoubal district, emphasizing that the Nyay Yatra is a program for the people.

The Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, scheduled to commence in Mumbai on March 20, covering 14 states and 85 districts, aims to cover 6,713 kilometers through a combination of foot marches and bus rides. AICC president Mallikarjun Kharghe is set to flag off the rally, with the intention of highlighting the socio-political significance of the initiative.

Meghachandra Singh urged Chief Minister Biren Singh to prioritize peace in Manipur over party politics, emphasizing the rally’s role in restoring peace. When questioned about granting permission for Rahul Gandhi’s rally, Biren Singh stated that it is under consideration, with reviews from various security agencies influencing the final decision.
