Manipur Congress leaders on Monday met party president Mallikarjun Kharge and Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi to discuss the state’s law and order situation and the party’s preparations for the 2027 Assembly elections.
The meeting was attended by Congress Legislature Party leader Keisham Meghachandra, state Congress president O Ibobi Singh, AICC in-charge of Manipur Saptagiri Sankar Ulaka and other leaders.
In a social media post, Meghachandra said the discussions focused on continuing violence and insecurity in Manipur and the failure to restore lasting peace and normalcy.

โThe people of the state deserve peace, security, stability and accountable governance,โ Meghachandra said, adding that restoring lasting peace remained the party’s foremost priority.
