Manipur CM ‘cooperated’Manipur, which has been roiled by ethnic violence since May 3, formed a crucial part of Mr. Shah’s speech. Mr. Shah said that the administration had done its best to quell the rumour — which circulated around April 29 — that 56 refugee camps were being designated as forest villages. Mr. Shah said that the video of two women in Thoubal district being stripped naked and paraded, one of whom was gangraped, was taken on May 4. Mr. Shah noted that he had stayed in the State for three days, and that his Minister of State Nityanand Rai had camped there for 23 days. “This is ethnic violence and should not be politicised,” the Home Minister said.
