Birth at baat.

"Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday (yesterday) said the government is willing to hold a discussion in Lok Sabha on the situation in Manipur." TOI. "At least 30 people have been killed in ethnic clashes in the north-eastern Indian state of Manipur, officials say." BBC on 6 May. "The violence began earlier this week after a rally by indigenous communities against moves to grant tribal status to the main ethnic group in the state. Mobs attacked homes, vehicles, churches and temples." "Around 10,000 people have reportedly been displaced." Instead of addressing the problem the government tried to suppress all information by banning internet in the state. On 8 July, more than two months after civil strife broke out, "Manipur High Court after an in-chamber hearing...ordered partial lifting of ban on internet services in the state." TOI. "Internet services across all platforms have been banned in the state since May 3." Last week, a video surfaced showing "two women being paraded naked by a mob" in Manipur on 4 May. BBC. On the same day two other women were gang-raped and murdered in the same state. Mint. "There are actually no studies or empirical evidence to suggest that internet shutdowns are effective against the spread of misinformation," wrote Tanmay Singh. "Manipur's chief minister, in a rare moment of honesty, stated in a TV interview that there are hundreds of similar incidents that have happened in the last 70 days, and that is the reason why the internet is banned." So, the ban has not stopped the atrocities from happening. Instead, "It is clear that the inability to effectively share and receive information from behind the iron curtain of Manipur is what allows the Manipur state authorities to evade accountability." Clearly, the internet shutdown was not for the security of citizens, but "The internet has been cut off in Manipur for more than two months for the security of the government." The offer of discussion by Mr Shah is a facetious evasion of responsibility. Prime Minister Modi's party, the BJP is in power in Manipur. wikipedia. Therefore, as prime minister and head of the BJP, Mr Modi should explain to the people of India, through the parliament, as to why nothing was done about the rapes and murders and who is responsible for the uncontrolled carnage. After all Mr Modi is an expert on making speeches. From May 2014 till October 2017, Mr Modi had delivered a staggering 775 speeches. ET. "Modi has made nearly 19 speeches every month since he became PM on May 26, 2014. This translates to two public speeches every three days." Most speeches were over 30 minutes. Mr Modi has delivered over 100 Mann Ki Baat (wisdom of the mind) speeches over the radio. PIB. At the 100th Mann Ki Baat event in Delhi, a woman went into labor and delivered a healthy baby boy. HT. Messianic stuff. Once there was the star of Bethlehem. wikipedia. Now the Magi was already there.
