In a letter to Manipur journalist Kishorechandra Wangkhem (who was an anchor with a local channel in Imphal) detained under the National Security Act (NSA), President of Indian National Congress Rahul Gandhi has attacked the BJP government for their "fascist forces" and attempting to "destroy the idea of India".
"I want to thank Rahul Gandhi that he wrote this letter and stood up against this injustice. It was unexpected. It's not about a political party but he took a stand on humanitarian ground," Wangkhem's wife Elangbam Ranjita expressed her gratitude.
Wangkhem was sentenced to one-year detention under the NSA in December, after that he was taken into custody on November 27 for allegedly targeting the BJP government.
