Rahul Gandhi’s Visit to Refugee Camps
KC Venugopal Twitted, ” Sh. @RahulGandhi ji will be visiting Manipur on 29-30 June. He will visit relief camps and interact with civil society representatives in Imphal and Churachandpur during his visit. Manipur has been burning for nearly two months, and desperately needs a healing touch so that the society can move from conflict to peace. This is a humanitarian tragedy and it is our responsibility to be a force of love, not hate.” Rahul Gandhi will travel to several refugee camps during his journey, where displaced people have sought safety from the effects of violence. Since ethnic conflict began in May of this year, over 300 relief camps are now home to almost 50,000 people throughout the state. The ethnic conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities in the northeastern state has already claimed more than 100 lives. After a “Tribal Solidarity March” was arranged in the hill districts to protest against the Meitei community’s quest for Scheduled Tribe ST designation, fighting first started on May 3. The majority of Meiteis, who make up around 53% of Manipur’s population, reside in the Imphal Valley. Another 40% of the population is made up of the Naga and Kuki tribes, who live in the hill districts.
