Prime Minister Narendra Modi has finally spoken about the horrific video of two women paraded naked by a mob in Manipur, which went viral on Wednesday and said that his heart was filled with anguish and anger and that the guilty would not be spared.

No guilty will be spared: PM Modi

Before the start of the Parliament’s monsoon session, PM Modi said, “I want to assure the nation, no guilty will be spared. Action will be taken according to the law. What happened to the daughters of Manipur can never be forgiven.”

“As I stand next to this temple of democracy, my heart is filled with pain and anger. The Manipur incident is shameful for any civilised nation. The entire country has been shamed.”

Watch his full speech:

The depressing video has triggered massive condemnation and demands for action against the culprits. It shows two women being paraded naked by a group of men in Manipur on May 4, a day after clashes broke out between the valley-majority Meitei and the hill-majority Kuki tribe in the BJP-ruled state over the Meiteis’ demand for Scheduled Tribes (ST) status.

While condemning the Manipur on camera horror, PM Modi also referred to incidents in other states and said, “I appeal to all Chief Ministers to strengthen law and order in their state, especially regarding our mothers and sisters, and take strictest action, be it in Rajasthan, Chhattisgarh or Manipur. In every corner of India, we should rise above politics and act against heinous crimes.”

Meanwhile, opposition parties have demanded PM Modi’s stance in the parliamentary session over the Manipur row. Some 15 MPs have put in notice to suspend all business for a discussion on Manipur.
