Churachandpur, July 8: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, who is Leader of Opposition (LoP) in Lok Sabha, on Monday visited relief camps in Churachandpur in Manipur and offered them support.
The inmates staying in relief camps highlighted their problems due to ethnic violence in the state.
The Congress leader arrived at the Imphal airport this afternoon and visited the Jiribam Higher Secondary School relief camp.
"LoP Rahul Gandhi visits Jiribam Higher Secondary School relief camp, meets victims of violence and offers support in their darkest hour. His third visit to Manipur post-violence shows his unwavering commitment to the people's cause," Congress said in a post on X.
Violence erupted in Manipur on May 3 last year following clashes during a rally organised by the All Tribals Students Union (ATSU) to protest against the demand for the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribe category.
