Asserting that state and Central government are working to restore peace in Manipur, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday promised strictest punishment for the accused indulged in crimes against women.
“There are serious crimes against women and they are unforgivable,” he added.
“Both the state and Central governments are doing everything possible to ensure that the accused get the strictest punishment. I want to assure the people that peace will be restored in Manipur in the coming time,” PM Modi said while replying to the no-confidence motion against his government.
He further said the country is with the people of Manipur.
“I want to tell people of Manipur including women and daughters of Manipur that the country is with you,” he added. Notably, the Opposition had moved a no-confidence motion against the NDA government over the issue of Manipur. The Opposition had been demanding a statement from the PM inside the Parliament over Manipur.
“Congress is asking us answers for Manipur violence, they are forgetting what Nehru ji did when Assam was attacked,” PM Modi said. He further said that the Opposition didn’t have the courage and intention to discuss Manipur. “We had asked them (Opposition) to come for a discussion on Manipur. The Home Minister had written a letter, asking them to hold a discussion on Manipur. But they didn’t have the courage and intention. There was an intention to send a message of peace to the people of Manipur in Amit Shah’s message,” the PM said.
