00:00
There is considerable outrage in India over the video of two Manipuri women that has gone
00:09
viral, which shows them being paraded naked in Manipur by a mob of a thousand strong men
00:15
and then being sexually assaulted by them.
00:18
The incident happened on the 4th of May, a police case was registered on the 18th of
00:22
May, but nobody knew about it until the video came out a couple of days ago.
00:27
What is shocking has been the CM Biren Singh and his police's response to this.
00:32
Mr Biren Singh claims he didn't even know this had happened until the video came out.
00:37
The police are saying that they've now swung into action and made one arrest based on the
00:41
video again.
00:42
But they are the ones who filed an FIR in the case on the 18th of May.
00:46
Why has it taken them more than two months to actually take action and arrest anybody
00:52
for this?
00:53
It's a shocking commentary on the state of affairs in Manipur, a state which has been
00:57
burning now for two and a half months.
01:00
And most top government ministers, including the prime minister, until now have been silent
01:05
on what has been going on in Manipur.
01:07
This video at least has broken their silence.
01:10
It's forced even the Supreme Court to intervene and demand some action from the government.
01:15
Finally, what has happened in Manipur is a huge blot on all of us as the media society
01:22
at large, the government, the police, everyone has failed the people of Manipur in this time
01:28
of crisis.
01:29
What is clear though is that nothing short of Biren Singh's resignation or sacking as
01:33
chief minister will be acceptable now.
