Actor and Samajwadi Party MP Jaya Bachchan slammed the government for failing to address the Manipur turmoil in Parliament. She said that after a months-old video leaked online showing two tribal women being paraded nude and assaulted by a gang of men in Manipur, the world was talking about the violence in the state, but the country`s authorities were not.
On Monday, Jaya Bachchan told reporters in Delhi, "Manipur ke vishay mein internationally sab log charcha kar rahe hain, humare desh mein nahi ho rahi hai. Iss se zyada main kya keh sakti hoon? It is a shame, charcha woh karna nahi chahte hain (What else can I say? Manipur is being talked about internationally, but not in our country. The government doesn`t want a discussion)."
