New Delhi: Condemning the incident of two women being paraded naked in violence-hit Manipur, the video of two women being paraded naked in Manipur is really disturbing. Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud has asked the government to act. It is absolutely unacceptable, says CJI, to use women as a tool in the field of communal strife. He further said that we are deeply troubled by the videos that have come to the fore. If the government will not act, we will.

The Supreme Court says that the time has come for the government to actually step up and act. This is absolutely unacceptable in a constitutional democracy. This is very disturbing. The Supreme Court asked the Center and the Manipur government to explain what action they have taken to bring the culprits to book. What has been shown about the visuals appearing in the media shows grave constitutional violation and violation of human life by using women as an instrument of violence, which is against the constitutional democracy. The Supreme Court has ordered that the Central and State Governments inform the court about the steps taken by them. The Supreme Court has fixed the next hearing of the case on next Friday.
