Reiterating that those responsible for the horrendous act of outraging modesty of women in Manipur must be dealt with most stringent legal provisions and given the harshest of punishments, Punjab Vidhan Sabha speaker Kultar Singh Sandhwan on Sunday urged Union home minister Amit Shah to order a high-level enquiry to ensure justice to all those affected by the ongoing violence in the state.
In his letter to home minister, Sandhwan, while expressing shock and dismay at the prevailing environment of continuous fear and lawlessness, sought removal of the chief minister of Manipur for letting the situation adrift thereby jeopardising lives of millions of citizens. The CM should be held responsible as he had failed to check this gruesome act of violence against women, he wrote, adding that severe action against the chief minister by dismissing his government will send the right signal.
