Opposition alliance INDIA on Wednesday suggested that President Droupadi Murmu nominate two Manipuri women from different communities to the Rajya Sabha to help rectify the "grievous harm" inflicted on women of the state, as reported by news agency PTI.

This comes after a delegation of 31 Opposition leaders of INDIA alliance, led by Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge, met President Droupadi Murmu over the situation in Manipur and submitted a memorandum. Trinamool Congress leader Sushmita Dev made the suggestion when the delegation met the President and urged her to ask Prime Minister Narendra Modi to address Parliament on the situation in the northeastern state.

Dev stated that nominating two women from different communities from Manipur to the Rajya Sabha would serve as a small measure to rectify the grievous harm and violation inflicted upon the women of the state, PTI reported. "This is the minimum expectation at this time of national tragedy," she said.

Speaking after the meeting, Kharge said their main demand was that Prime Minister Narendra Modi should visit Manipur and take steps towards restoring peace in the violence-hit state.

"31 members of the INDIA alliance met President Murmu and briefed her on the situation in Manipur. We submitted a memorandum to the President. We briefed the President, especially on atrocities against women, rehabilitation and other conditions in Manipur...Our main demand is that PM should visit Manipur and take steps towards restoring peace in the state," Kharge said. Kharge said the President has assured the MPs that she would look into the demands of the Opposition.

Among the opposition members present at the meeting with the President at Rashtrapati Bhawan were Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge, NCP chief Sharad Pawar, National Conference leader Farooq Abdullah, JD(U) leader Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan), Shiv Sena (UBT) leaders Arvind Sawant and Sanjay Raut, Trinamool leaders Sudip Bandyopadhyay and Derek O'Brien.
