Congress MP Shashi Tharoor said the situation in Manipur shows what happens when a double-engine vehicle stops but the fault is not with the smaller engine as a double-engine vehicle will not stop just because of the failure of the smaller one. Blaming the bigger engine Centre for the situation, Tharoor tweeted, “The shocking incidents of gangrape, parading naked in Manipur took place because of the failure of the bigger engine.” In 2022, BJP won an absolute manjority in Manipur and N Biren Singh became the chief minister for the second consecutive term.
The statement comes amid an acrimonious exchange between BJP leaders and the Opposition after a video of two women paraded naked in Manipur went viral. The nationwide outrage prompted the Manipur government to press into action and, so far, six accused have been arrested, though the FIR was filed a month ago. PM Modi expressed anguish and pain over the incident, while the opposition demanded PM Modi’s statement on Manipur unrest in Parliament. The BJP, on the other hand, accused the Opposition of running away from a debate on Manipur.
