Manipur is a beautiful state and it has to come out of the crisis and honestly, all of us will have to make efforts to bring back peace to the state, she said.

 

This kind of incident hurts each one of us and there is no word with which we can explain or address the issue, she said.

The perpetrators will have to be caught and some arrests have already been made yesterday, the minister said.

I am sure all efforts will be made to punish the perpetrators, she said.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had said before the commencement of the Monsoon Session of Parliament on Thursday on how the nation hangs its head in shame for what happened in Manipur, Sitharaman pointed out.
