In his post, shared on Twitter and Facebook, Rahul Gandhi wrote: "Best wishes to the people of Manipur, Meghalaya, and Tripura on their Foundation Day! The rich diversity of languages, cultures, histories, and traditions in these states represents the true strength of India. May this special day strengthen our unity and bring peace, progress, and prosperity to all."
His message shows the importance of celebrating the cultural and historical diversity of the northeastern states and their significant contribution to India's identity.
