Manipur: Modi speaks out almost two months after sexual assault sparked outrage – video
The Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, broke his silence after a gruesome video of two young women being stripped, assaulted and paraded naked emerged from the eastern state of Manipur. The women, from the minority Kuki tribe, were attacked by a mob from the Meitei people. They were allegedly then raped. The incident led to months of violence and unrest in Manipur from late May, killing at least 140 people. The opposition leader, Mallikarjun Kharge, accused the prime minister of ‘keeping quiet’ and not addressing the matter. Speaking at a press conference on Thursday, Modi said: ‘I want to assure the citizens that those guilty will not be spared. The law, with all its might, will take one step after the other.’
