UNAU students forum protest over Manipur incident in Jantar Mantar

New Delhi [India], July 22 (ANI): Amidst a nationwide outcry over the appalling incident in Manipur, the UNAU students forum organised a protest at Delhi's Jantar Mantar on Saturday. 
A video of the two-month-old incident had gone viral evoking strong sharp reactions from various political parties and triggering outrage.
Amid renewed calls for his resignation and the ruckus in Parliament over a viral video in Manipur, purportedly showing two women being paraded in the nude, Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Friday evaded a question on the demand for him to step down, saying his job was to restore peace to the state and ensure that the perpetrators of the alleged incident in the viral video are brought to book.
The Manipur CM informed that, so far, four persons, including the main accused, have been arrested in connection with the incident, adding that his government will ensure exemplary punishment for the culprits.
Opposition leaders of all hues have voiced outrage over the Manipur incident and both Houses of Parliament, in the ongoing Monsoon Session, saw repeated disruptions in demand for a discussion on the issue.
On the raucous protests by the Opposition over the incident, Singh said the people in Manipur treat all women in the same way as they do their mothers and sisters and never condone crime, adding that this explains why there were ongoing statewide protests in Manipur.
Meanwhile, another video surfaced on Friday showing women in Imphal burning down the house of one of the accused. The video was said to be from Thursday.
The clip shows a mob going on a rampage and damaging the house before setting it alight.
The violence in Manipur erupted after a rally by the All Tribal Students Union of Manipur (ATSUM) on May 3 in protest against the proposed inclusion of people belonging to the Meitei community in the list of Scheduled Tribes (STs). (ANI)
