Leftists spread lies by linking Manipur incident with RSS
The arrest of the accused on the Manipur incident took place after the video surfaced. After this, the opposition parties did a lot of politics on this. Propaganda was spread that the accused belonged to RSS. Left leader IC Ghosh shared a picture based on this. Leftist leader Subhashini Ali, MP from Kanpur, shared the picture and wrote that he is an accused from Manipur. The claim was found to be completely false. The accused in the Manipur viral video scandal have no connection whatsoever with the RSS.
Big conspiracy hatched against Hindus
Meanwhile, work in Parliament has come to a standstill. Opposition wants PM’s answer on Manipur and ruling party is saying that they are ready for discussion. There is a need that the opposition should discuss those main issues so that the problem can be solved. After all, after the hard work of the Modi government in the last 9 years, the entire North-East has progressed on the path of development and peace, in which it will not be right to stop.
