Aizawl (Mizoram) [India], July 20 : Urging the Central and State governments to take immediate action regarding the ongoing violence in Manipur, Mizoram Chief Minister Zoramthanga on Thursday said that silence is not an option.
“Brutal violence in Manipur not only affect the neighbouring state but even the whole country. Situations seem to have worsened! I was really shocked and shaken to see the video that goes viral. The shocking video of the sexual assault of our two ---- women in Manipur is brutal, merciless, heinous, despicable and completely inhuman! The whole region needs a permanent solution for the great problem Manipur is having which can really be solved only by the Central Govt”, CM Zoramthanga shared in a tweet.
The Chief Minister further said that it is the duty and responsibility of the Central and State governments to look for immediate ways for peace restoration. 
CM Zoramthanga also urged Manipur CM N Biren Singh and Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take immediate action and bring the perpetrators to justice.
“I re-quote - "Many lives have been lost, bloodshed all over, physical torture & the victims are looking for refuge wherever possible. With no iota of doubt, those victims are my kith and kin, my own blood and should we quieten the situation by just being silent? I don't think so!," he said.
SILENCE is not an OPTION!
I would like to call for immediate restoration of peace and normalcy. It is incumbent and imperative upon the Manipur Govt. and the Central Govt. to look for immediate ways for peace restoration. Therefore, I urge Manipur Chief Minister @NBirenSingh and Hon'ble PM of India @narendramodi Ji to take immediate action and to bring PERPETRATORS to JUSTICE!”, he said.
