APARNA SEN SPEAKS ON MANIPUR VIDEOS
Reacting to the Manipur incident, the veteran said, “I am speechless. I just cannot think of this, I don’t believe this type of violence can happen. I don’t realise this. How can this happen in a democracy? It’s going on and on. I will say that every political party should be aware, they are all corrupt. What can I say about Manipur? I am speechless. My heart is broken. I don’t know why the PM has not said anything before Thursday. I don’t know,” as reported by India Today. When quizzed about the panchayat polls violence in West Bengal, Aparna opined, “I don’t know what the future of West Bengal is, but I can say it is dark. The change was needed at the time of CPIM. But apart from this, TMC is doing something else now. I have written one open letter to Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee.” She also stated that, “I don’t know if it will work or not. It is sad that a lot of people have died in West Bengal because of the poll. It is hard to comment. All the officers, police, and administration should be aware.”
