After Rahul Gandhi's convoy was stopped by the police near Bishnupur in Manipur, the Congress leader on Thursday said "it's very unfortunate that the government is stopping" him from visiting the trouble-torn state.

"I came to listen to all my brothers and sisters of Manipur. People of all communities are being very welcoming and loving. It’s very unfortunate that the government is stopping me," Gandhi said in a tweet.

"Manipur needs healing. Peace has to be our only priority," he added.
