The Maharashtra unit of the Indian National Congress Friday met Governor Ramesh Bais and requested him to convey to the President of India the party's demand that the Manipur government be dismissed in order to end violence in the troubled state, PTI reported.

The Congress delegation that submitted a memorandum to this effect to Bais was led by the party's state unit working president Naseem Khan, who was accompanied by representatives from minority groups, Christian organisations and tribal leaders.
