प्यार, भाईचारा और शांति का संदेश लेकर @RahulGandhi जी मणिपुर पहुंचे हैं।
कल वे हिंसा के पीड़ितों और सिविल सोसाइटी के लोगों से मिले। उनका दुख बांटा, उनके आंसू पोछे, उन्हें हिम्मत दी… ये भरोसा दिलाया कि सब ठीक हो जाएगा।

I came to listen to all my brothers and sisters of Manipur.
People of all communities are being very welcoming and loving. It’s very unfortunate that the government is stopping me.
