Don't try to distract from Manipur's unknown horrors

The viral video showing the horrible rape/murder of women/men is shocking enough to challenge the conscience of India and I hope also the ruling party which is marketing India as the "mother of all democracies"!  

The CM of Manipur is now on a face saving mission, saying that the guilty will be brought to justice but was his government and all the agencies (including Central/State) really unaware of this horrific incident for nearly 2 months; considering it was reported that the mob snatched the victims from a police patrol. I seriously doubt that the BJP authorities  would have acted had the video not gone viral.  What I shudder to think is how many similar/worse incidents have gone unreported in Manipur.

And coming to Goa what is shameful; is that in the current ongoing Goa Monsoon assembly session, instead of taking a stance on Manipur horrors; some MLAs (particularly Vasco MLA) have the time to try securing "brownie points with the supreme leader" for better political/wealth opportunities by bringing in distractions like the BBC documentary on Modi!
