Speaking to ANI, Masood said, “The country is being ashamed and the Chief Minister and the Prime Minister are not saying anything about the incident of women being paraded naked in Manipur. PM Modi is celebrating 75 years of independence and such incidents are happening with women.”

“Even when they (BJP government) take the action, they take unilateral action. We are standing with those people who are troubled and harassed. Our Congress party is constantly opposing the incident of Manipur violence. Rahul Gandhi is protesting and other leaders are also protesting, but the Prime Minister does not want to discuss it in the parliament and he does not want to talk about it. Therefore, the movement is the only way,” Masood added. (ANI)
