Manipur Shocker: Jharkhand CM Writes To President

In the wake of chilling video showing two women being sexually assaulted by mob of men in Manipur, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren wrote a letter to the President Droupadi Murmu on Friday highlighting ‘grave injustice among the ethnic groups in the state.’

Soren said that as Manipur is ‘predominantly a tribal state and there has been a desperate attempt by the Centre to sideline the issue.’

“Your (President) steadfast commitment to upholding the principles of justce and compassion has always been a guiding light for all of us. In this darkest hour of crisis that Manipur and India face, we look up to you as the last source of hope and inspiration who could show the light in these troubled times to the people of Manipur and all the citizen of India,” Soren wrote.
