NEW DELHI: Expressing grief over the gruesome crime committed against two women in strife-torn Manipur who were paraded naked by a mob, Governor Anusuiya Uikey on Thursday questioned the law and order situation in the northeastern state. She also expressed her displeasure over the delay in filing the report in this matter and not taking immediate action against the accused. Speaking to a news channel, the Governor termed it a "shameful incident".
She said the people of the country are shocked to know that the incident took place on May 4, but it came to light on July 18, and even after so many days, "I don't know why the police didn't take cognisance of the matter". She appealed to the Central government to resolve the situation in Manipur, saying that she has never seen such violence in her life as she is witnessing in Manipur now, and the Central government should resolve the problem immediately by making both the Meitei and Kuki communities sit and talk. The Governor added that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah should take strict action in this matter. (IANS)
