Karnataka Home Minister G Parameshwara on Thursday questioned the need for a visit of NCW member Khushbu Sundar to Udupi when the body has not gone to Manipur, where two women were molested and paraded naked recently.
"Is this incident in Udupi of that magnitude," he asked while talking to reporters, as reported by PTI.
"Let them come, I don't say -- who has to come, who has to see -- all that. Manipur incident...I don't know what to call it, and there the commission has not gone. Is this incident in Udupi of that magnitude?" Parameshwara said in response to a poser regarding the NCW's visit.
"I don't say -- you don't come. Why should you come -- I don't say that. I'm not the person to say that. Let them come, but you should also say what you found. Was there any video of this incident or anything?" he remarked.
The Manipur incident that Parameshwara referred to is the video that showed two women paraded naked and molested by a group of men on May 4 in Kangpokpi district that surfaced on July 19 and prompted a countrywide outrage.
