Pointing out that arrests have been \u201cfew and far between\u201d, in the context of around 6,500 first information reports filed in relation to the violence, the apex court has asked for more details of the progress in police action, and ordered the personal presence of the Manipur Director General of Police during the next hearing on August 7. Questioning the State police\u2019s capability to investigate these cases, the Court noted that there was a complete breakdown of law and constitutional machinery in the face of mob violence. Two women who were paraded naked and raped by a mob have pleaded their lack of trust in the investigation by the police and the Central Bureau of Investigation. It was the circulation of a video clip that captured the horrific violence these women were <strong>subjected (Cause to experience or suffer or make liable or vulnerable to) <\/strong>to that prompted the Court\u2019s intervention after weeks of <strong>unabated <\/strong>violence and the <strong>brazen <\/strong>partisanship of the Manipur government. More such cases have surfaced, and the Court has now proposed a Court-constituted investigation. Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh has <strong>no leg to stand on (a statement or claim they have made cannot be justified or proved)<\/strong> after this censure by the highest court in the land, but continues to remain in office with a total lack of accountability because the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is determined to protect him for political reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The history of communal clashes in India suggests that mob violence for a prolonged period is possible only with the <strong>connivance (Agreement on a secret plot) <\/strong>of the state. In the case of Manipur, it is more than evident. <strong>Bringing perpetrators to book (bring someone to book means officially punish someone or call them to account for their behaviour)<\/strong> is far more tedious and often a frustrating process compared to taking swift preventive police action at the first sign of trouble. In Manipur, far from a swift response to prevent escalation, the police allegedly facilitated the mob violence. Police personnel who failed in their duty or connived with mobs should face the full force of the law. Also, there must be a strong message from the country\u2019s political leadership. Sadly, the attempt by the ruling BJP has been to deny the gravity of the Manipur situation by comparing it with isolated crimes in Opposition-ruled States. The Court has <strong>denounced (Accuse or condemn openly or formally; classify or describe as disgraceful) <\/strong>that claim while underscoring the gravity of the situation in Manipur. A team of 21 leaders of the Opposition grouping, INDIA, that visited the State is scheduled to meet President Droupadi Murmu on Wednesday. The grouping should also agree to a discussion in the Rajya Sabha even if its demand for a prior statement by the Prime Minister is not met. That will be an opportunity for INDIA to present its findings to the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Update your vocabulary with the help of this analysis of The Hindu Editorial.
