Deputy leader of the Congress in Lok Sabha, Gaurav Gogoi, stated that peace cannot be achieved in Manipur until the recovery of 6,000 sophisticated arms and 6 lakh rounds of ammunition. These weapons, which were stolen from security forces, pose a threat to the common people of the state, leading to ongoing violence since May 3.
Gogoi emphasized the importance of reconciliation between the conflicting parties in order to restore peace and normalcy. He also claimed that both Meiteis and Kukis are dissatisfied with Chief Minister N Biren Singh’s performance and criticized Home Minister Amit Shah for supporting the chief minister in Parliament. Gogoi accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of misleading the nation and neglecting issues of corruption.
He alleged that the BJP government in Karnataka was involved in corruption and pointed out deficiencies in the Ayushman Bharat scheme. Gogoi expressed confidence in the INDIA coalition of opposition parties and their prospects in the 2024 Lok Sabha polls.
He criticized the renaming of the Nehru Memorial Museum as an attempt to disrespect the Nehru-Gandhi family, highlighting the difference in priorities between Congress and BJP leaders. The Nehru Memorial Museum and Library has officially been renamed as the Prime Ministers’ Museum and Library Society as of August 14.
