'No Other Shameless PM Than Him': Sanjay Singh Announces Protest Until Modi Replies On Manipur

AAP MP Sanjay Singh was suspended from Rajya Sabha on Monday for the remaining period of Monsoon session of the Parliament for “obstructing” the proceedings of the House

Aam Aadmi Party MP Sanjay Singh on Monday demanded answers from Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the issue of ongoing ethnic violence in Manipur after he was suspended in the day from Rajya Sabha for the remaining period of Monsoon session of the Parliament for “obstructing” the proceedings of the House. Following his suspension, Singh and other MPs from opposition parties staged a sit-in protest near Gandhi statue inside the Parliament premises and demanded accountability from the government over the Manipur issue.  

“We will sit here at the Gandhi statue till the PM does not answer on the Manipur issue in the Parliament,” said the AAP MP in an exclusive interview with ABP News. 

“The entire INDIA team is against the Manipur violence and it's an equivocal demand of all the parties that PM Modi should give answer on this in the House,” he added. 

Singh was joined by MPs from other parties as well in the protest including Ram Gopal Yadav, Imran Pratapgarhi among others. 

“Sitting in front of Gandhiji we are urging the government that Modiji should come. Don't know if you (PM Modi) are ashamed or not but the Indian Army is feeling ashamed, Bharat Mata has been shamed,” he said on the strip parade viral video of the two tribal women in Manipur’s Kangpokpi on May 4. 

“Wife of a warrior, retired subedar, in the Kargil War was stripped and paraded, if even after this the PM is not speaking, then there is no other shameless PM than him on this earth is what I can say,” he added. 

Countrywide outrage erupted after a viral video surfaced on social media where a bunch of men were seen parading two women naked in Manipur’s Kangpokpi on May 4 in the wake of ethnic clashes between majority Meitei and tribal Kukis over the Meiteis demand for inclusion in the Scheduled Tribes list which has spanned for almost over two months now. 

The Opposition has been stalling the proceeding in Parliament demanding a discussion and PM Narendra Modi's statement in both Houses of Parliament on the issue.
