The PM was compelled to speak after the video went viral says AIMIM’s chief, Asaduddin Owaisi on Manipur’s shocking video that leaked out.
On July 20, 2023, in New Delhi, All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief and Lok Sabha MP, Asaduddin Owaisi, commented on the Manipur’s viral video that rocked the nation in indignation, shame, and rage. He pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was compelled to address the issue only after a video of the incident went viral, sparking public outrage.
Owaisi urged the Prime Minister to initiate a CBI investigation into the matter. Concurrently, Congress leader Jairam Ramesh demanded the immediate resignation of Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh. Today, after two months, Prime Minister Narendra Modi himself condemned the assault on the women in Manipur, labeling it a “shameful incident for any civilized society.”
From his official Twitter account, he also expressed his thoughts on the matter, highlighting the delay in Prime Minister @PMOIndia’s response to the ongoing Kuki tribes’ genocide in Manipur. He questioned whether the government would have reacted had it not been for the shocking video. Furthermore, he raised concerns about justice for the 160 lives lost, numerous women subjected to rape, and the fifty thousand people displaced.

He also said, “The Prime Minister should conduct a CBI inquiry and remove the Chief Minister of Manipur. The PM should go to Manipur and appeal for peace and if he does, we will all go with him.”

"प्रधानमंत्री CBI जांच करवाएं और मणिपुर के मुख्यमंत्री को हटाएं। PM को मणिपुर जाकर शांति की अपील करनी चाहिए और अगर कहेंगे तो हम सब उनके साथ चलेंगे"
