Duty Over Politics In Manipur

The Member of Parliament from Manipur, representing the Congress party, adhered to established protocols amid a brewing political storm. As news of the Prime Minister's impending visit reached the ears of party leaders, they swiftly rallied to contact the MP, urging him to boycott the event. Their concerns stemmed from the BJP's perceived negligence in addressing rising tensions between two communities, a situation that had escalated into a significant conflict source says.

In response, the MP, though vehemently opposed to the BJP's policies and actions, firmly adhered to the tenets of political decorum. He articulated that, as a dedicated representative of the people of Manipur, it was his duty to extend a welcome to the visiting Prime Minister during his time in the state. While his heart lay with the sentiments of his party and constituents, he recognised the importance of maintaining respect for established protocols during such pivotal moments, source says.
