“Many lives have been lost, bloodshed all over, physical torture and 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,” said Mizoram CM Zoramthanga.
He added: “Silence is not an option.”

The shocking incident took place at Kangpokpi district of Manipur on May 4.
