After Congress leader Rahul Gandhi’s convoy was allegedly stopped by the police near Bishnupur in Manipur, party president Mallikarjun Kharge lashed out at the BJP governments at Centre and state saying that the "disastrous governments are using autocratic methods to stall a compassionate outreach" by Rahul. 

"He is going there to meet the people suffering in relief camps and to provide a healing touch in the strife-torn state. PM Modi has not bothered to break his silence on Manipur. He has left the state to fend for itself. Now, his double engine disastrous governments are using autocratic methods to stall a compassionate outreach by Shri Rahul Gandhi. This is totally unacceptable and shatters all Constitutional and Democratic norms. Manipur needs peace, NOT confrontation," he wrote
