In Mizoram, Rajnath Singh calls for Manipur peace

Union defence minister Rajnath Singh addressed a rally in Mizoram, focusing on the ethnic strife in neighbouring Manipur. He stated that the violence was not orchestrated by any political party, but rather a result of a lack of trust between the Meitei and Kuki communities. Singh called for a conversation to bridge the trust deficit and criticized the Congress party for trying to gain political mileage from the situation. He also highlighted the BJP’s commitment to development and governance, contrasting it with Congress’s reputation for corruption and incompetence.
