Nadda's letter to Kharge full of falsehoods: Congress
The Hindu
Congress responds to BJP's allegations on Manipur issue, calling it a "4D exercise" of denial, distortion, distraction, and defamation.
The Congress on Friday hit back at BJP president J.P. Nadda over his allegation that the opposition party was pushing a politically motivated narrative on the issue of Manipur, saying his letter to Mallikarjun Kharge is a "4D exercise - denial, distortion, distraction, and defamation".
Mr. Nadda on Friday (November 22, 2024) accused the Congress of pushing an "incorrect, false and politically" motivated narrative on the issue of Manipur unrest, as he hit back at Mr. Kharge for seeking President Droupadi Murmu's intervention and alleging the Centre's complete failure in defusing the crisis.
In a rejoinder to Mr. Kharge, Mr. Nadda claimed the repercussions of the Congress's "abject failure" in dealing with local issues in Manipur when it was in power are being felt even today.
Hitting back at Mr. Nadda, Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "Congress President Kharge ji wrote to the President of India on Manipur. Apparently to counter that letter, the BJP President has now written to the Congress President." "Naddaji's letter is, not surprisingly, full of falsehoods and is a 4D exercise - denial, distortion, distraction, and defamation," he said in a post on X.
The people of Manipur are yearning for normalcy, peace, and harmony to return to the state at the earliest, Mr. Ramesh said.
"Towards this end they are asking four simple questions: When will the PM visit the state? How much longer will the CM continue to be inflicted on the state, when a majority of MLAs are not in his support? When will a full-time Governor for the state be appointed? When will the Union Home Minister take responsibility for his abject failures in Manipur?" Mr. Ramesh said.
In his letter, Mr. Nadda told Mr. Kharge what is shocking is how repeated attempts are being made by the Congress party to sensationalise the situation in Manipur, he told Mr. Kharge.
