"This is the third time that I have come here since the problem started. It has been a tremendous tragedy. Frankly, I was expecting some improvement in the situation, but I was disappointed to see that situation is no way near to what it should be," Rahul told media persons in Imphal on Monday.
He said he visited the camps and listened to the people there. "Heard their pain. I came to listen to their pain to build confidence in them. Somebody who is in opposition must be here to try and put pressure on the government to act. Here, the need of the hour is peace, violence is hurting everybody. Thousands of families have been harmed, properties destroyed, family members killed. I have never seen what is going on here anywhere else in India."
"I want to tell the people of Manipur that I come here as your brother, I come here as somebody who wants to help you, who wants to work with you to bring back peace in Manipur. Congress is ready to do whatever it can to bring back peace here," he said. "We had a conversation with the governor and said we would like to help in whatever way we can. We also expressed our displeasure and stated that we are not happy with the progress made so far... "I would request everybody to think about peace and brotherhood."
