‘Cannot guarantee the North East…’ says Raj Thackeray on Manipur women paraded video
Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) Raj Thackeray sharply criticized the central government for not taking strict action against the perpetrators in the Manipur viral video case where two women were paraded naked by a mob and were later gangraped. Thackeray noted that the words of the Prime Minister are not enough and if action is not taken then it cannot be guaranteed that Northeast will continue to remain a part of India.
In a tweet on Thursday, Thackeray wrote, “The visuals which are circulating on various social media regarding the Manipur barbaric incident are heart wrenching and a shame on the government." The senior Maharashtra leader informed that he had written a letter to Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Amit Shah with an appeal to find a solution to the violence in Manipur on an urgent basis. The MNS chief urged central government to take a firm stand on the incident and appealed for the perpetrators to be hanged till death for the heinous act.
He also added that if the government doesn't take any action then the President should interfere. “If after a few years, something very damaging and detrimental takes place, then the government will be responsible.
Though the Prime Minister has condemned this incident, it’s not enough. Words are not enough!! Action is the need of the day! Otherwise one cannot guarantee the Northeast to remain a part of our country." the MNS chief noted.
