Condemning the incidents linked to sexual atrocities in Manipur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday (20 July) said that those guilty of the crime will not be spared.

Speaking on the video that showed two women being paraded naked in Manipur, the prime minister said, “I am filled with pain, anguish and the incident is shameful for any civil society".

“No accused will spared, we will never forgive those who are behind this,” he said, reports news agency ANI.

“This a shameful incident for any society..who did this and who is responsible is another issue but this has put our nation to shame. I appeal to all chief minsters to tighten law and order. Whether it is Rajasthan, Chattisgarh or Manipur…the issue of a woman’s honour is above all politics", he said addressing reporters ahead of the Monsoon session of the Parliament that begins today.

Meanwhile, several opposition MPs have given notices in both Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha demanding discussions on the situation in Manipur.
