On Friday, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi appealed for peace in Manipur. He said, "violence is no solution" as he met Governor Anusuiya Uikey.
He met the victims of violence in relief camps on the concluding day of his visit to the state.
He requested the government to improve "basic amenities" at the relief camps.
Mr. Gandhi described the events in Manipur as a tragedy which is extremely "painful" for the state and the country.
"Peace is the only way now and everybody should now talk about peace and start taking steps for it.
I am here and will help in any way required to bring peace to this state," he told reporters outside Raj Bhavan after meeting Ms. Uikey.
"I share the pain of the people of Manipur. It is a horrible tragedy. It is extremely sad and painful for all," he said.
Talking about his visit to relief camps in Imphal, Churachandpur and Moirang, he said, "One of the things I would say to the government is that the basic amenities at the camps need to be improved.
Food needs to be improved. Medicines need to be supplied. Such complaints have come from the camps."
