Outrage Over MANIPUR Video: https://youtu.be/RfhecOHwq_A
In this compelling editorial, Mr. Sujit Nair addresses an extremely distressing and deplorable incident that has taken place in the northeastern state of Manipur, India. The incident he discusses is not only tragic but also showcases the depths of inhumanity.
With a heavy heart, Mr. Nair sheds light on the gravity of the situation, emphasizing the need for immediate attention and action. The incident has shocked the nation, and it serves as a stark reminder of the urgent need to address issues related to women's safety and the protection of their rights.
A shocking video showing two women being paraded naked on a road by a group of men in Manipur has gone viral on social media, leading to widespread condemnation and calls for immediate action. The Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF) has alleged that the women were gang-raped in a field during the incident, which occurred on May 4 in Kangpokpi district, located about 35 km from the state capital, Imphal. However, the police have stated that the incident happened in a different district, despite the First Information Report (FIR) being filed in Kangpokpi.
In response to the horrifying incident, Chief Minister N Biren Singh has ordered a priority investigation by the police. Women and Child Development Minister Smriti Irani also spoke to the Chief Minister and Chief Secretary about the incident, and she was assured of swift action against the perpetrators.
Prior to the on-camera incident, clashes had broken out between the Meitei and Kuki tribes in Manipur over the Meiteis' demand for Scheduled Tribes (ST) status.
The ITLF stated that the women in the video were constantly molested by the men while they pleaded for mercy. The group also expressed concern over the video being shared on social media, which exposed the identity of the victims, and called on the National Commission for Women and the National Commission for Scheduled Tribes to intervene.
The Manipur Police have filed a case of gang-rape and murder in response to the incident and have identified the men involved. The survivors reported the crime to the police about 15 days after the incident occurred. The police are actively working on apprehending the culprits.
The incident has sparked shock and outrage on social media, with political leaders and others urging the central and state governments to take decisive action against those responsible for this heinous act.

00:00 Namaskar.
00:01 Welcome to another episode of Editorial.
00:06 Two kooky women,
00:09 kooky women from Manipur, were paraded naked.
00:13 The full story, the full details of the story is done by a colleague of mine.
00:19 He has done a complete detail.
00:21 I am attaching that story in the description box below.
00:25 So, you can have a look at it.
00:28 So, that will give you a full idea of what exactly happened.
00:31 I don't have the strength to do that story.
00:36 I don't have the mental strength.
00:37 So, I left it to younger journalists to do that.
00:40 But what I want to do today is ask a few questions.
00:45 Let's get right into the show.
00:48 Today, the Supreme Court
00:55 and the Chief Justice of India, D.Y. Chandrachud took so-moto cognizance of this case.
01:01 And he said, simply unacceptable.
01:04 Using women as an instrument in an area of communal strife,
01:10 grossest of constitutional abuse.
01:14 We are deeply disturbed by the video, which has emerged.
01:18 If the government does not act, we will.
01:23 This is what Chandrachud had to say, Chief Justice Chandrachud has to say, and I hope he acts.
01:28 You see, this incident happened on the 4th of May,
01:34 almost two and a half months back.
01:38 4th of May.
01:40 Nobody spoke about this.
01:43 Nobody knew about this till it surfaced yesterday.
01:49 And yesterday, the Manipur police tweets, this incident happened on the 4th of May.
01:55 And yesterday, that is after two and a half months, literally almost,
02:00 Manipur police tweets that all our efforts to arrest culprits as regard to the viral video of two women paraded naked,
02:10 as regards to the viral video of two women paraded naked by unknown armed miscreants
02:17 on 4th of May, 2023, a case of abduction and gang rape and murder was registered in Nongpong Sekmai PS,
02:28 Taubal district against unknown armed miscreants and the investigation has been started.
02:35 The state police is making all out effort to arrest the culprit at the earliest.
02:43 The police, after two and a half months, says that we have registered a case and we are trying to find the culprit.
02:50 My first question I want to ask,
02:54 trying to find the culprit?
02:58 Has this happened in some unknown area by some unknown people?
03:05 It's happened.
03:08 They have video shot it.
03:11 They have video shot it for crying out loud for God's sake, they have video shot it.
03:15 And the police is saying that we are trying to find the culprits.
03:20 In a state where clashes are going on for the last two and a half months,
03:26 are we to believe that the police didn't have any clue or gave no attention to a crime like this,
03:35 where two women were paraded naked, raped and police had no idea about it?
03:42 They came to know all of it yesterday after the video surfaced.
03:46 Is it what we are supposed to believe?
03:48 And if that is a fact,
03:50 then are we surprised that the police couldn't contain these clashes?
03:57 Isn't that a very simple question?
03:59 So that's number one.
04:04 Number two is, I want to ask the Prime Minister of this country.
04:08 You know, while the Prime Minister was going all over the world,
04:13 spreading goodwill and possibly increasing the image of India,
04:18 an incident happens on the 4th of May.
04:28 The incident happened on the 4th of May and the Prime Minister is not made aware
04:34 that two kooky women were paraded naked.
04:38 Why was he not made aware?
04:40 Do we as a nation think that's okay?
04:44 It's okay to do that?
04:46 Like the Chief Minister, I guess, has said that hundreds of such cases does happen.
04:52 That is what the Chief Minister says.
04:53 Like the Manipur CM said to India Today, what he said is,
04:58 when asked about how his government was unaware of the incident
05:02 where a woman was shamelessly paraded naked by a group of men in his state,
05:06 the Chief Minister, Mr. N. Biren Singh of Manipur said
05:09 that hundreds of such cases similar to the incident have taken place.
05:14 Hence, we have invoked a ban on the internet in our state.
05:17 The Chief Minister didn't say that, "My God, I'm appalled.
05:22 I'm putting all my forces."
05:23 He said hundreds of such cases happen.
05:25 So, what I've done is not put extra force to catch the culprit.
05:30 What I've done is I put a ban on internet in the state
05:33 so that people don't know that these cases are happening.
05:36 People are not aware that cases are happening.
05:40 I put a ban on the internet.
05:42 Other than the Chief Minister saying that, "Listen, I am putting force
05:48 to ensure that these culprits are caught."
05:50 That's the first thing.
05:51 Then what was the Minister of Women and Child, Mrs. Smriti Irani doing?
05:57 Isn't it part of her job to have taken cognizance to this?
06:02 There are two options here too.
06:06 Chances are she was not made aware.
06:09 If she was not made aware,
06:11 why isn't she questioning the Chief Minister as to why she was not made aware?
06:16 Why isn't she going to the Prime Minister and saying that
06:20 the Chief Minister should be sacked because such an incident happened
06:23 and she was not made aware?
06:24 Why isn't there a system error?
06:28 Why aren't we talking about a system error?
06:31 When there is a security breach to an MP or a VIP,
06:34 we have an entire cabinet sitting and talking about the security breach.
06:39 Two women who are masked naked.
06:42 Why are we not talking about a system error where something of this sort happened
06:47 and the Minister for Women and Child doesn't even know about it?
06:51 Or if she knew about it, then why didn't she act?
06:54 My question goes both ways.
06:57 If you didn't know about it, then why didn't you know about it?
07:00 What was the system flaw that didn't give you the information?
07:03 Why were you not given that information?
07:05 Then what is the concept of having a union Minister for Women and Child?
07:10 What is this concept?
07:11 Because whatever happens, you never get to know about it.
07:13 Then what is this concept?
07:16 And if you knew about it, why didn't you act?
07:17 I asked the same question to the Home Ministry.
07:23 I asked the same question to the Home Ministry.
07:27 The Home Minister visited the state at least.
07:30 To that extent, he has at least visited that state.
07:33 Why wasn't he made aware?
07:35 Why wasn't he made aware that there was an incident like this that took place?
07:40 Why was he not made aware?
07:44 And if he was made aware, then the question is the same.
07:45 Why didn't he act?
07:46 Why didn't he talk about it?
07:47 And finally, the Chief Minister of that state.
07:53 I hear some reports in ANI that he too heard this incident recently.
07:58 He too heard about this incident recently.
08:01 I am appalled.
08:03 I am appalled.
08:05 We are more bothered about PMLA cases, tax evasion and so on and so forth.
08:12 We are not bothered about our girls being stripped naked and paraded on the streets.
08:17 Where is our priority and our sense of justice?
08:20 The question I want to ask this government is, we are trying to give more powers to ED.
08:27 We are trying to give more powers to IT.
08:30 We are talking about CBI.
08:32 Have we spoken anything about protecting our women?
08:36 Do we have a squad in India that is dedicated to protect our women?
08:42 Is there a discussion or debate about protecting our women?
08:45 How come ED, IT, financial frauds are so important, so, so important than protecting our women and child?
08:55 Where is our priority and sense of justice?
08:58 My question is, today we are aware.
09:03 All of them are, aren't they?
09:05 Why is the Chief Minister not sacked?
09:07 Sacked A, because he couldn't stop it.
09:11 Sacked B, because two and a half months the culprits are not caught.
09:15 Sacked 3, that he has either not informed the top bosses that such a thing has happened or worse, as he said, he was not even aware of this.
09:26 Either ways, why is the Chief Minister not sacked?
09:30 You know, what's the sad part of the story?
09:40 The sad part of the story now, this is happening one too many times in our country.
09:44 We saw that in Janata Mantra in Delhi, six girls were molested by MP, Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Uttar Pradesh.
09:56 He molested six girls, at least, that's the allegations.
10:00 It took young boys and girls, and that too Olympic gold medal award winners to come on the street and protest.
10:10 That's when a simple FIR was filed.
10:12 An incident that took place in January, FIR was filed in April.
10:16 Is that how we treat our girls?
10:18 Is this what a girl's safety means to us?
10:25 I am appalled.
10:29 On the 5th of this month, a case of missing minor in Angole, a case had to be re-registered as POXO,
10:37 because the police earlier had never registered POXO case against the culprit.
10:41 It was registered after the Andhra Pradesh Human Rights Commission in Coornool charged Angole Taluka Police
10:49 of negligence in protecting that 15-year-old girl.
10:52 POXO was not charged because we couldn't care less.
10:56 We couldn't care less.
10:58 Our Prime Minister had given a call of Beti Padhao, Beti Bachao.
11:07 What is left of Beti Bachao?
11:10 What is left of it?
11:12 Any civilized community, any civilized community,
11:16 the pride is in protecting their women and children.
11:23 That's the pride.
11:24 Communities, people have laid down their lives to do that.
11:29 A civilized community is where a woman and a child feels very safe.
11:36 A developing community is a place where a woman and child feels very safe, a family feels safe.
11:44 Every time we neglect a case like what happened in Manipur, every time we neglect,
11:55 we are getting closer to a situation where a woman will think twice to get out of her house.
12:05 We are sending a message to our young girls that listen, you know what,
12:09 as a society, we cannot protect you.
12:13 Tum dekhlo baba.
12:15 This is the message we are sending.
12:18 What is all of this economy and Chandrayaan and Mangalyaan and all worth, if we can't protect our children?
12:27 Think about it.
12:29 Till I see you next time. Namaskar.
12:32 Namaskar.
