Seeking prez rule since 20 months: Congress

New Delhi: Congress on Thursday said that it has been seeking imposition of President's rule in Manipur for the past 20 months.

"This has come after what the Supreme Court called 'the absolute breakdown of constitutional machinery in the state'... This has come after the fabric of Manipur's society has been allowed to be severely damaged... This has come after the Union home minister has clearly failed to manage Manipur... This has come even as the globe-trotting PM steadfastly refuses to visit Manipur...," said AICC communications in-charge Jairam Ramesh.
