Why target Northeast': Assam CM slams 'liberals' over Manipur viral video; shares THESE 6 news reports
A disturbing video captured on May 4 came to light on Wednesday, revealing the appalling incident in Manipur where two women from one community were paraded naked and molested by a mob from another community.
FollowAssam's Chief Minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, has raised concerns about the "limited outrage" seen for the Northeast region in response to a viral video depicting the horrifying incident of two women being paraded naked in Manipur, an area facing unrest. He questioned why other "brutal crimes" occurring elsewhere were seemingly ignored by what he referred to as the "so-called liberals."
Taking to Twitter, the Assam CM shared news reports from various media outlets highlighting recent incidents of sexual violence against women in different states, ranging from Rajasthan to West Bengal.
In a tweet, Sarma said, "The incident in Manipur is horrendous and the perpetrators will face the full wrath of law. Unfortunately, there is a clear pattern among the so called liberals. The outrage is limited to the North East, while they will simply ignore equally brutal crimes elsewhere."
