Amidst the nationwide outrage over a viral video from Manipur, where two women from the Kuki tribe were subjected to a horrific incident of being paraded naked and allegedly gang-raped, a similar distressing incident has surfaced from neighboring state West Bengal.
As the Opposition demanded the resignation of Manipur chief minister N. Biren Singh, following surfacing of a video of women being assaulted by the mob, the BJP shot back questioning the atrocities against women in non-BJP states like West Bengal, Rajasthan and Chhattisgarh.
Manipur video: The apex court called it the “grossest of constitutional abuse” and asked the Centre and the Manipur government to apprise the court on the steps taken.
"No matter where the atrocity; be it in Rajasthan, Chattisgarh or Manipur, in any corner of this country, we deeply value law and order and highly respect women.” Modi said.
