Taking notes from the horrific on-camera incident that happened in violence-hit Manipur, where two women paraded naked and later, allegedly gang-raped by a group of men, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has strongly condemned the inhumane act and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to pay attention in the prevailing situation in the state. He also demanded PM Modi ensure strict action against the culprit.

This condemnation comes after a video of the Manipur horror that happened on May 4 widely surfaced on Wednesday, showing two women parading naked in the state amid the clashes.

CM Arvind Kejriwal on Manipur on camera horror

Taking it to Twitter, Arvind Kejriwal wrote in Hindi, “The situation in Manipur is becoming so worrying. I appeal to the Prime Minister to pay attention to the situation in Manipur. Please take strict action against the culprits seen in the video of this incident. There should not be any place for people with such criminal tendencies in India.”

Here’s what AAP said on this incident:

In an official statement, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said, “The Aam Aadmi Party has come across a viral video purportedly from Manipur where two women are paraded naked and are constantly molested by their captors. It has been brought to our notice that the video was shot on May 4 in Kangpokpi district in B Phainom Village where both the women were gang-raped after the entire village was burnt down.”

Condemning the incident, the Kejriwal-led party said that this “horrifying and continued ordeal of the helpless people of Manipur.”

AAP’s request to PM

Urging PM Modi’s attention, it said, “The inaction of the State and the Central government is painful for all the citizens of the country. We again request the intervention of the Prime Minister in Manipur.”

“Turning a blind eye to the problem will not make it go away,” the party said. The AAP is ready and willing to assist in any manner as the central government may deem fit, it added.

Further, the party also asked all citizens not to aggravate the plight and humiliation of the helpless women and speak up against the ‘sickening act’ without sharing the gruesome video.
