The Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) today organised a ‘Tiranga Yatra’ in Imphal to express its unwavering support for the Indian Armed Forces engaged in Operation Sindoor. The march was held in the wake of the recent surge in terrorist attacks, particularly the deadly April 22 attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, claimed by the Pakistan-based militant group Lashkar-e-Taiba.

Covering nearly four kilometres, the rally started and concluded at Congress Bhavan, passing through North AOC in a symbolic route. Senior Congress leaders, including former Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh, AICC member Gaikhangam, MPCC President Keisham Meghachandra, and former MP Thokchom Meinya, led the procession. A large number of party workers and citizens joined the rally, waving the national tricolour and voicing patriotic slogans.

Addressing the gathering, Okram Ibobi Singh strongly condemned the Pahalgam attack and reaffirmed support for the armed forces. “The incident at Pahalgam was a barbaric act. Innocent lives have been lost at the hands of terrorists operating from across the border. This fight is not against the ordinary people of Pakistan but against the extremist forces that threaten our country. We stand solidly behind our brave soldiers,” he declared.

The participants carried the Indian National Flag through the city streets, reflecting the collective patriotism and determination of Manipur’s people to back national efforts against terrorism.

The ‘Jai Hind Yatra’ is part of a nationwide campaign launched by the Indian National Congress to rally public support for the armed forces and Operation Sindoor. Concluding the event, Ibobi Singh stated, “As per the call of the All India Congress Committee, we are expressing our unity with the Indian armed forces.”

The march was conducted peacefully, resonating with patriotic chants and delivering a strong message of unity, resilience, and national commitment.
