Digital Desk: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Thursday visited people displaced by ethnic strife in Manipur's Churachandpur, after reaching there in a helicopter, hours behind schedule as his convoy of vehicles was stopped by the state police mid-way owing to fears of violence.
Gandhi visited a relief camp and interacted with the people.
The Congress leader was forced to stop in Bishnupur, around 20 kilometers from Imphal, after police stopped his convoy for fear of being attacked.
"Rahul Gandhi visited Churachandpur in a chopper provided by the state government. Top police and administration officials accompanied him in the helicopter," said a source at the airport.
Local police used tear gas on demonstrators in Bishnupur, some of whom wanted him to go to Churanchandpur, while others were opposed to his visit.
Gandhi's supporters, including a significant number of women, took to the streets of Bishnupur, demanding that he be allowed to go to Churachandpur.
"If (Union Home Minister) Amit Shah can go to Churachandpur, why can't Rahul Gandhi?" one of the women questioned.
