This is also likely to dominate discussions in The Parliament 's monsoon session, which begins on Thursday.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi also said The Incident had " shamed India" and that " no guilty will be spared".

" I assure The Nation , The Law will take its course with all its might. What Happened with The daughters of Manipur can never be forgiven, " He Said , finally breaking his silence on Manipur More Than two months after violence began.
