Opposition running away from Manipur debate: Anurag Thakur
New Delhi, Jul 20 (PTI) Union Minister Anurag Thakur on Thursday claimed that the opposition was “running away from a discussion” in Parliament on the Manipur situation, accusing them of using incidents of crime against women to further political gains.
Speaking to reporters outside Parliament, he said the government was ready for a debate on the Manipur situation in the House during which similar incidents of crime against women in other states such as Rajasthan should also be discussed.
A video of two women being paraded naked by a group of men in Manipur, which has been witnessing ethnic violence since May 3, drew sharp reactions from the opposition leaders who demanded a discussion in Parliament on the situation in the state.
