00:00As PM Modi departs for Moscow, Rahul Gandhi arrives in North-East for a shock visit.

00:10With Assam, Manipur in crosshairs, what Congress plans?

00:21Rahul Gandhi, the leader of opposition in the Lok Sabha, is now embarking on a significant

00:26one-day visit to Manipur and Assam today.

00:29This marks his first trip to the North-Eastern state in his current role, shortly after he

00:35expressed deep concern over the ethnic conflict in Manipur during a recent Lok Sabha session.

00:41The visit also comes at a very crucial time as tensions remain high in Manipur.

00:46Just hours before Gandhi's scheduled arrival, an incident of gunfire by unidentified individuals

00:52in the Mehti area of Gularthal-Jirbhim district prompted a response from the security forces.

00:59This exchange of fire highlights the volatile situation in the region.

01:03Gandhi's itinerary is also packed with important engagements.

01:06He will begin his day by arriving at the Kumbhigram airport in Assam's Kachhar district.

01:11From there, he plans to visit the flood relief camp in Lakhipur, addressing the ongoing floods

01:16in the Assam.

01:18This stop also highlights the dual challenges facing in the region, ethnic conflict and

01:22natural disaster.

01:23Following his visit to the flood-affected areas, Gandhi will then proceed to Manipur

01:27by road.

01:28In Jiribhim district, he is scheduled to meet the individuals affected by the recent violence,

01:33including internally displaced persons.

01:35This part of his visit is particularly significant as Jiribhim's fragile peace was shattered

01:40by clashes triggered by a killing in June.

01:43The second leg of Gandhi's visit will then go to Churachandpur and Vishnupur Mohirang,

01:48where he will visit more relief camps set up for IDPs.

01:52These visits aim to provide a first-hand understanding of the situation on the ground and the challenges

01:57faced by those displaced by the conflict.

01:59In the evening, Gandhi is then set to meet the newly elected Congress MPs from Manipur

02:03and engage in discussion over the ongoing crisis with Manipur Governor.

02:07These meetings are likely going to focus on strategies to address the conflict and provide

02:11relief to affected communities.

02:13Senior Congress leaders view this as a way to send a strong message to Prime Minister

02:17Narendra Modi, suggesting that he should too visit the strife-torn state.

02:22The Congress party has been critical of handling of the Manipur crisis by the centre, rejecting

02:27PM Modi's claim that the situation in the state is now getting normal.

02:31They have reportedly called for one more substantial action and attention from the central government.

02:36The visit by Rahul Gandhi to Manipur is likely going to bring renewed focus on the crisis

02:41and broader challenges facing the north-eastern states.

02:44It also represents an effort by the opposition to maintain pressure on the government and

02:48to demonstrate their commitment to address the complex issue in this region.

02:53As Gandhi interacts with the affected individuals and local leaders, his observation and statements

02:58will surely trigger new debates and it will be closely watched for their potential impact

03:03on national political discourse and the policy decision regarding Manipur and the north-east.
