- Amid nationwide outrage over a horrific video from violence-hit
Manipur , PMNarendra Modi and CJIDY Chandrachud on Thursday expressed deep anguish over the incident of two disrobed women being brutalised by a mob, calling it “shameful” and “unacceptable”.
- The incident in a village in Kangpokpi district that was captured in the 26-second video took place on May 4, a day after ethnic violence erupted in the northeastern state.
- The footage surfaced only on Wednesday and became viral after the internet ban was lifted.
- “Today, when I am standing by this temple of democracy my heart is full of pain and anger,” PM Modi said in his first public comments on the Manipur violence.
- “I want to assure the countrymen that no guilty will be spared. Law will act with its full might and firmness... What has happened to these daughters of Manipur can never be forgiven,” he told reporters ahead of the
monsoon session of Parliament .
- A bench headed by CJI Chandrachud took cognisance of the video and warned that the apex court would take action if "nothing is happening on the ground".
- A man who was allegedly part of the mob and was seen dragging one of them in the video was among four persons arrested on Thursday.
- Manipur chief minister
N Biren Singh termed the incident as “inhuman” and said the culprits deserve a “capital punishment”.. - In Churachandpur, braving heavy downpour, thousands of tribals on Thursday raised their demand for a separate administration and stringent punishment for the perpetrators involved in the crime.
- The Centre also asked Twitter and other social media platforms to take down the video of the incident since the matter is being probed.
- Senior BJP leader
Ravi Shankar Prasad said the party “condemns” the incident but said the surfacing of its footage on social media just a day ahead of Parliament’s monsoon session is “surrounded by a lot of mystery”. - Hitting out at the government, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh said the PM had broken his silence on Manipur but it was “too little too late”.
- Proceedings in the Lok Sabha and the Rajya Sabha were disrupted and adjourned for the day with opposition MPs creating an uproar over the incident and demanding a discussion in Parliament. Updates here
