Shocking visuals from Manipur show atrocities against women, demands action

The NCP president, Sharad Pawar, on Thursday demands the Prime Minister's Office and the Union Home Ministry immediately take necessary steps to restore peace in Manipur after shocking visuals emerged of two women being paraded naked in the strife-torn state. Quorting Dr B R Ambedkar, Pawar said, Without humanity, your glory is worthless. Distressing to see disturbing visuals from Manipur, especially the atrocities against women, which is despicable, he said. It's time to unite, raise our voices, demand justice for the people of Manipur. Home department along with PMO need to immediately take necessary action to restore peace in Manipur, he said. His daughter and NCP's working president, Supriya Sule, also said the situation in Manipur demands immediate action. Shocking visuals from Manipur - sickening, disgraceful, and utterly inhumane treatment! The Lok Sabha member said on Twitter that he was relieved that his party would be removed from the list of parliament. Is silence in the face of such atrocities unjustifiable? She added: 'It's good to see that we're working together,' she said. Tension mounted in the hills of Manipur yesterday after a May 4 video surfaced showing two women from one of the warring communities being paraded naked by a few men from the other side. Police have registered a case of abduction, gang rape and murder at the police station of Nongpok Sekmai in Thoubal district. The FBI said in a statement that an all-out effort is on to arrest the culprits at the earliest. The incident, which took place in Kangpokpi District on May 4, shows men continually molesting the helpless women, who cry and plead with their captors, according to a spokesperson of the Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum ITLF.
