Imphal, September 24 2025: The issues of strife-tom Manipur were deliberated in an Extended Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting held in Patna, Bihar, today presided over by Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge.

From Manipur, Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee president Keisham Meghachandra Singh and Congress Legislature Party leader Okram Ibobi Singh attended the meeting, said a press release issued by MPCC.

In the extended CWC meeting, the MPCC president demanded an immediate dissolution of the Manipur Legislative Assembly and seek fresh elections in Manipur.

He said that the Prime Minister's recent visit in Manipur was merely "symbolic and cosmetic" as it offered no hope, no assurance, and no solution to the people.

Raising the issues of Manipur, he highlighted that even after 29 months, there is still no solution to the ongoing violence in Manipur.

He pointed fingers at the failure of the BJP's double engine Government in restoring peace, normalcy, and trust among different communities in the State.

He asserted that MPCC is committed to launching a State-wide peace march and lead in restoring peace and harmony in Manipur.

All top leaders of the Congress party from across the country joined the meeting.

According to the press release, reflecting on Manipur, the CWC maintained that the "Prime Minister visited the State but again foiled to summon the moral courage to meaningfully engage with the people, giving them no more than five hours of his time" .

It further observed that the "Union Government's silence, inaction, and complicity has created a climate where perpetrators of hate and violence are emboldened" .

Speaking to National media, K Meghachandra reiterated his demands for immediate dissolution of the State Assembly and fresh elections "as the President's Rule had completely failed Manipur" .

He also shared the seriousness of the party in bringing peace in Manipur by holding a peace march in the State.

On X (formerly Twitter), he expressed his gratitude to the Congress president, LoP, general secretary (organisation) KC Venugopal and general secretary (communications) Jairam Ramesh and the entire members of the Extended CWC .
