The AIADMK’s former coordinator, O. Panneerselvam, the party’s former interim general secretary V.K. Sasikala and the AMMK general secretary T.T.V. Dhinakaran on Thursday deplored the incident of sexual assault against two women in Manipur, a video clip of which had gone viral on social media platforms.
Expressing their condemnation separately, the three leaders urged the Central and State governments to bring the guilty to book. They wanted the authorities to find a lasting solution to the basic problem in the violence-hit Northeastern State.
Mr Panneerselvam also pointed out that though the incident was said to have taken place more than two months ago, it was regrettable that those responsible for the incident had not yet been arrested.
Tamil Nadu Congress Committee president K.S. Alagiri termed the incident of sexual assault against two women in Manipur ‘as a shame to India’ and strongly condemned it.
In a statement, he said the Narendra Modi government at the Centre has to take responsibility for the worsening situation in Manipur.
