The Congress further went on to say that PM Modi has multiple instruments in his hand to control the situation in Manipur but he is not doing it. Instead, he is laughing in Parliament. "He could have gone to Manipur, talk to the communities," Rahul Gandhi said.

"When a person becomes PM, he should not speak like a petty politician. It's tragic to watch PM Modi speak for 2 hours on the Congress, opposition. It doesn't do justice to his position...The only conclusion I want to draw that the PM has tools in hand but for some reason he refuses to use them..There are clear reasons why PM is not going to Manipur," he said.

"I am not seeking Army's intervention. All I am saying is that Army can stop this nonsense in two days. It is not my position to say which tool PM Modi will use. I am saying Pm Modi has all tools in his hand but for some reason he is refusing to use them," he further said.
