An 18-year-old woman who was abducted, assaulted and gang-raped in Imphal East in Manipur on May 15, approached the police on Friday, after which a zero First Information Report (FIR) was registered
FIR says Meira Paibis women’s group handed her over to four armed men; after a brutal assault, gangrape, murder threats, she arrived at Bishnupur police station but did not trust Meitei police to take her home
That is a question for the Meira Paibis to answer. Meira Paibis are composed of Meitei women. Meitei are an ethnic group and mostly Hindu. Kukis are an ethnic tribe and almost all Christian.
Since the start of this ethnic & communal violence, Meira Paibis have been encouraging Meitei youth to rape & kill Kuki girls & women.
rape is a crime, so is gangrape. But rapists get bail and the political power currently in power, the BJP, will publicly honour them if the victims are non-Hindu. and their leader gets welcomed and honored by world leaders as leader of world's largest democracy.
The news coming out of Manipur (by drips as the internet is still shutdown) is shocking. 2 days back a popular Meitei singer released a new song calling for a Kuki genocide with lyrics like "once the army relaxes their grip, the Kukis will be eliminated" and "We will never have peace till every Kuki is killed". the state police & govt haven't taken any action against him.
Today is the 82nd day of violence and the central govt led by Prime Minister Modi has neither addressed the ethnic & communal genocide nor has he asked the state govt led by Biren Singh (both belong to the same Hindu supremacist political party, the BJP) to step down.
They want the violence to continue.
