Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh sparked fresh controversy over his remark on the alleged incident of sexual assault on two women from the Kuki community that took place on May 4. Singh while having an exclusive telephonic interview with India Today was asked about how his government was unaware of the incident where women were shamelessly paraded naked by a group of men in his state. Responding to the statement, Singh said, “Hundreds of such cases similar to the incident have took place. Hence, we had invoked a ban on internet in our state.”
Further concluding his response, Singh added that “Only one case has surfaced. Yet I condemn it, it is a crime against humanity. We have nabbed one culprit in the case and efforts are made to bring all the accused to justice.”
CM Singh’s bizarre statement over the video has invited widespread hate towards him. Such a statement shows that numerous such cases were probably known to the administration but were not known to public as the victim’s voices were oppressed due to the internet ban.
