Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who recently returned from his visit to the US and Egypt, on Tuesday made a strong pitch for the uniform civil code (UCC) and said that the Opposition was using it to mislead and provoke the Muslim community. Meanwhile, in violence-hit Manipur, the Army deployed to restore peace are struggling. They have appealed to the local residents to “help them help Manipur”.
The Indian Army’s Spears Corps shared a video on Twitter late on Monday, stating, “Women activists in #Manipur are deliberately blocking routes and interfering in operations. Such unwarranted interference is detrimental to the timely response by Security Forces during critical situations to save lives and property. Indian Army appeals to all sections of population to support our endeavours in restoring peace. Help us to Help Manipur.” It came two days after a stand-off in Itham village between the Army and a mob led by women that forced them to let go of 12 alleged militants holed up there. More than 100 people have been killed in the violence since May 3.
