NEW DELHI: Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Friday demanded an apology from Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for, what he alleged, “defaming” Manipur. While condemning the Manipur viral video incident, the BJP leader also asked people not to paint the whole state or whole of Northeast with the same brush.
Sarma condemned the parading of two women naked in Manipur on May 4 but said it should be treated as an isolated incident. In a candid admission, he said all states witness incidents of crimes against women, including Assam.
