00:00I'd like to welcome all of you here.
00:06It's the third time I've come here since the problem started.
00:12And it has been a tremendous tragedy.
00:17Frankly, I was expecting some improvement in the situation, but I was quite disappointed
00:28to see that the situation is still nowhere near what it should be.
00:35I visited the camps and heard the people there, heard their pain.
00:49I came here to listen to them, to build confidence in them, and as somebody who's in the opposition,
01:06to try and apply pressure on the government so that it acts.
01:14Here the need of the hour is peace, violence is hurting everybody, thousands of families
01:25have been harmed, property has been destroyed, family members have been killed, and I have
01:33never seen anywhere in India what is going on here.
01:40The state is completely split in two, and it is a tragedy for everybody involved.
01:49I want to tell all the people of Manipur, I come here as your brother, I come here as
01:57somebody who wants to help you, who wants to work with you, to bring back peace in Manipur.
02:06And I am ready to do whatever I can, Congress Party is ready to do whatever it can to bring
02:12back peace here.
02:15We had a conversation with the Governor, and we expressed to the Governor that we would
02:21like to help in whatever way we can.
02:24We also expressed our displeasure, and we said that we are not happy with the progress
02:30that has taken place here.
02:32I don't want to go further into politicising this issue, it is not my intention.
02:38As I said I come here as a brother, as a family member, and I understand that the entire Manipur,
02:47all of it, is in pain, is suffering, and needs to get out of this suffering as soon as possible.
02:56So that's my message, I would request everybody to think about peace, to think about brotherhood,
03:05and violence and hatred is not going to get any solution.
03:11So if we can start to think about peace, start to think about affection, it will be a very
03:17very big step for Manipur.
03:21Congress Party and me are available, anytime you want me to come here, you want me to come
03:26here five times, ten times, any amount of times you want me to come here, I am happy
03:31to come here, and I am happy to listen to what you have to say, and try and help you
03:38as Leader of the Opposition.
03:39Thank you very much.
03:41I don't, no I don't want to, I want to be very clear about the message I am giving here.
03:48I don't want to, you know, go into questions and answers.
03:53The clear message I am giving here is that we have come here to listen to the people
03:56of Manipur, the people of Manipur need to be heard, they are in pain, they are in suffering,
04:04and the Indian Government and everybody who considers himself a patriot must reach out
04:11and embrace the people of Manipur and bring peace to Manipur.
