Mallikarjun Kharge said that we told the President how people in Manipur have no food, no water, no arrangements for sick people. We told what kind of incidents are happening there. Especially told the President about the atrocities on women. President Murmu said that she will definitely see it.
Nominate two Manipuri women to Rajya Sabha
Opposition group India on Wednesday suggested that President Draupadi Murmu nominate two Manipuri women from different communities to the Rajya Sabha to help repair the grave damage done to the state’s women. Trinamool Congress leader Sushmita Dev made this suggestion when a delegation of the opposition group met the President. Sushmita Dev said that nominating Manipuri women to Rajya Sabha will serve as a small measure for Manipur. This is the least we can hope for in this time of national tragedy.
