Last week, Rahul Gandhi criticised the Modi government ahead of an all-party meeting on Manipur saying, "Manipur has been burning since 50 days, but the Prime Minister remained silent. An all-party meeting was called when the Prime Minister himself is not in the country! Clearly, this meeting is not important for the Prime Minister." (Image Source: PTI)
