Judiciary on Manipur
A civilised person’s heart should bleed after reading the report on the horrific statements made by the two women survivors in Manipur (Inside pages, “As mob approached, policemen refused to help: gang-rape survivor”, August 1). The strong strictures passed by the Supreme Court of India against the law and order machinery in the State and the Court’s summoning of the State Director General of Police only highlight the volatile situation. Any reply made in Parliament ought to be comprehensive, covering the entire gamut of the ethnic clashes, the reasons, the failure of governance in the State and the various measures to bring an end to the violence. It should also list the steps that will be taken to restore trust in the traumatised State.
