"They Did Not Want To Discuss Manipur Issue In Parliament": Smriti Irani Slams Opposition

Union Minister Smriti Irani on Saturday slammed Congress and the Opposition for "not letting the discussion happen" on Manipur viral video incident. She said, "The issue is not only sensitive, but has implications with regards to national security. However, opposition leaders did not want to discuss the issue on the floor of the parliament. What is extremely alarming is that yesterday, from the state of Rajasthan, a minister spoke up against crime against women in Rajasthan. He was unceremoniously dismissed by the Congress party. Equally shocking is the video going viral on the internet from state of West Bengal, a district called Malda, where two Dalit women were stripped.""The Congress did not want to hear the truth about atrocities against women in the state of Rajasthan. Congress is running away from the truth about the challenges that have emanated in the state of Manipur and does not want a discussion. The Congress is a mute spectator to the killings of innocents in the state of West Bengal. All because it is hungry for a collaboration with the TMC," Smriti Irani added.
