  "account": "On Friday, September 4, 2026, the Opposition Congress in Manipur vehemently condemned a bomb blast that occurred outside the residence of their legislature party leader, Keisham Meghachandra. The attack, described by the party as an \"attack on democracy,\" aimed to dispel the notion that differences in a democracy should be resolved through dialogue and peaceful negotiations. Hareshwar Goswami, a senior Congress spokesperson, led the condemnation, stating that such incidents should not happen again and attributing the blame to miscreants who may have been incited by someone. The blast, which took place around 8:15 p.m., was suspected to be triggered by a grenade, though no injuries were reported, as Mr. Meghachandra was not at home at the time.",
