Background

Indian opposition leader Rahul Gandhi’s team says they are yet to get security clearance to begin a nationwide march next week.The march was slated to start from the northeastern region of Manipur. Rahul Gandhi plans to cover more than 6000 kilometers over 66 days spanning the breadth of the country from east to west ahead of elections later this year. But government officials say fresh violence in the riot-hit region of Manipur means they cannot give security clearance yet. Neha Poonia has more.
