Congress leader Rahul Gandhi will be on a two day-visit to Jammu and Kashmir's Ladakh from Thursday, reported IANS quoting party sources as saying. The Congress leader was in Jammu and Srinagar earlier in January this year during his Bharat Jodo Yatra and again in  February when he visited Jammu and Kashmir on a personal visit and went to Gulmarg Skiing Resort. However, the purpose of visit is still not known as the sources did not reveal any other plans as per the news agency. 

Rahul's visit to Ladakh comes within a week after he went to his Lok Sabha constituency in Kerala's Wayanad on Saturday, first one after being reinstated as the Member of Parliament in the Lower House. 

In March this year, the Congress leader was disqaulified as Lok Sabha MP following a verdict in the 'Modi surname' remark case by a Surat court. However, the Supreme Court put a stay on the order after which Rahul's Lok Sabha membership was restored. 

During his Wayanad trip, the Congress MP trained guns on Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his speech on the no-confidence motion tabled by the Opposition against the ruling National Democratic Alliance government.  Cornering Modi over the violence in Manipur, Rahul said that the PM was "refusing to stop" the violenc and ewants the fire to rage on. He further alleged that PM Modi is allowing the state to burn. 

The Wayanad MP while talking to the media said, "I watched the Prime Minister speak for two hours laughing, joking, and raising slogans... He seems to have forgotten that Manipur is on fire and has been on fire for four months. Women and children are dying over there people are being murdered women are being molested and raped. The Prime Minister is sitting in Parliament shamelessly laughing. This is not about the Opposition it is about India it is about our country."

He further said, "A state has been disseminated. It has happened because of the government's divide and rule and burn policy, that is why I said Bharat Mata has been murdered in Manipur."
