Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh wrote on X: “K. Meghachandra Singh, MLA, and President of the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee, has been speaking out fearlessly and aggressively against the non-biological PM, the Union Home Minister, the Chief Minister of Manipur, and the BJP, exposing how they have destroyed Manipur since May 2023.”
“Today he has received a summon from the ED. This is nothing but the politics of vendetta, vengeance, harassment, and revenge. This action is to cover up the Union government’s colossal failures in the state-reflected in PM Narendra Modi’s refusal to visit the state since it blew up 17 months ago. Those who are afraid to intimidate, Congress will never be silenced,” he said.
