Civil rights activist Irom Sharmila on Sunday described the incident of strip-and-parade of two tribal women as “inhuman” and “very disturbing” and urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to immediately intervene to address the situation in her home State. She also demanded that Chief Minister N Biren Singh admit his failure and apologise to the people of Manipur.
The 51-year-old award-winning activist said she could not hold her tears after watching the video clip that showed two women being paraded naked and molested by a group of men in Kangpokpi district of the northeastern state on May 4. The video which surfaced on July 19 sparked condemnation countrywide.
