A delegation of 20 MPs from the Opposition bloc INDIA will pay a two-day visit to violence-hit Manipur starting Saturday. The delegation will take stock of the ground situation and then make recommendations to the government and Parliament for a solution, news agency PTI reported. Addressing a press conference in New Delhi Friday, Congress MP Naseer Hussain said the leaders from 16 parties will visit the affected areas and meet people both in the valley and the hills. They will also visit two relief camps and assess the situation.
Manipur is on the boil after a video showing two tribal women from a particular community being paraded naked went viral. The issue has led to nationwide outrage, with Opposition parties demanding the resignation of Manipur CM Biren Singh. The video, which was shot on May 4, a day after clashes broke out between the Meitei and Kuki tribes over the Meiteis' demand for Scheduled Tribes (ST) status, surfaced on Wednesday.
The video shows two women being paraded naked in Kangpokpi district in Manipur, which has been hit by ethnic violence. The main accused was arrested from Thoubal district. Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh said strict action would be taken against all the perpetrators and the government was considering the possibility of capital punishment.
The delegation will include Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury, K Suresh and Gaurav Gogoi of the Congress, TMC's Sushmita Dev, JMM's Mahua Maji, DMK's Kanimozhi, NCP's Mohammad Faizal, Jayant Chaudhary of RLD, Manoj Kumar Jha of RJD, NK Premachandran of RSP, T Thirumavalavan of VCK, JD(U) chief Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan) Singh, Aneel Prasad Hegde of JD-U, CPI's Sandosh Kumar, CPI(M)'s AA Rahim, Samajwadi Party's Javed Ali Khan, IUML's E T Mohammed Basheer, AAP's Sushil Gupta, Arvind Sawant (Shiv Sena-Uddhav Thackeray), D Ravikumar (DMK), and Phulo Devi Netam of Congress.
