Manipur govt denies permission for Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra to commence from Imphal East: Congress The Congress party on Wednesday claimed that the Manipur government has declined to permit party MP Rahul Gandhi to begin his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra from Imphal East district. The Yatra was scheduled to kick off from Hatta Kangjeibung in the district on January 14. News agency PTI quoted Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee president Keisham Megachandra as saying that the decision was unfortunate and a violation of the people’s rights. “We met Chief Minister N Biren Singh and sought permission for the venue of ‘Bharat Joro Nyay Yatra’ at Hatta Kangjeibung in Imphal East district from where the rally is scheduled to be flagged off. However, the chief minister has declined to permit the same,” he said, according to PTI. Asked about the government’s decision on allowing Rahul Gandhi’s ‘Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra’, Singh said, “We are taking reports from various security agencies. After receiving reports from them, we will take a concrete decision.” The Manipur-to-Maharashtra Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra, a foot march that is expected to witness thousands in participation, is scheduled to cover 6,200 km covering 85 districts in 14 states through its journey. The Yatra will cover Manipur, Nagaland, Assam, Meghalaya, West Bengal, Bihar, Jharkhand, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan and Gujarat before it culminates in Maharashtra’s Mumbai on March 20.
