NCW On Manipur Case: The National Commission for Women has taken cognizance of a woman being paraded naked on the road and then raped after the outbreak of violence in the violence-hit state of Manipur. NCW has written a letter to the State DGP asking him to file his reply within four days.
The National Commission for Women wrote a letter to the Chief Secretary and DGP of Manipur and said that it should be ensured that all the things needed by women are available there and they should be protected in every way. Women’s Commission Chairperson Rekha Sharma said that when we received the complaint, we are taking action on it.
He said that I spoke to the CM and he has told me that he will talk to the DGP and the Chief Secretary after a detailed report is given to them on the whole matter.
What is the whole matter?
On Thursday, July 19, 2023, a video related to the Manipur incident was going viral on social media. In this video, a woman from the Kuki community is seen being stripped naked by some people from the Meitei community and paraded on the road. During this, some people in the ongoing crowd are seen holding and touching the private parts of that woman without any fear.
After the video of this incident went viral, everyone in the country was filled with anger and started demanding the resignation of the state CM N Biren Singh on this subject. At the same time, the opposition also raised questions on the silence of PM Modi on Manipur violence. After this, PM Modi while addressing the media on Thursday (July 20) gave his reaction on this incident.
What did PM Modi say?
PM Modi said that today when I am standing near the temple of democracy, my mind is filled with anger and pain. This is a shameful incident for any civilized society. There are so many sinners, those who commit crimes, who are they, they are in their place, but the whole country is being insulted.
140 crore countrymen are feeling ashamed. There is an appeal to all the Chief Ministers to strengthen law and order in their states. Whether the incident is of Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh or Manipur, law and order should be maintained. Women should be respected. No culprit will be spared. What has happened to these daughters of Manipur cannot be forgiven.
