00:00I want to leave you with our image of the day and it is a rather sad image.
00:05Bungazeen Valte was Manipur's forgotten MLA.
00:09Someone who was brutally attacked during the ethnic violence that took place in Manipur in 2023.
00:16He passed away this weekend.
00:19I had gone to interview and also spent Christmas a couple of years ago with the Valte family.
00:25He died after three years of medical complications caused by their mob attack.
00:31All I can say is that those responsible for this attack have still not been prosecuted or convicted.
00:39And I ask you tonight, each and every one of you, think about it.
00:44What is a national shame when a sitting MLA is targeted in the heart of a national capital
00:50and dies because of the nature of the attacks on him?
00:53And those responsible for it are not prosecuted or convicted.
00:58The word national shame is used too loosely in our society.
01:03National shame is when every Indian who deserves his or her rights is denied them.
01:11And when there are violent attacks like that, which Valte, a BJP MLA from Manipur, eventually died off.
01:21Think about him tonight.
01:23As I leave you, goodnight, Shubratri.
01:27Jai Hind.
01:27Namaskar.
01:29Jai Hind.
01:30Again.
01:31Bye for now.
01:31Bye for now.
01:32Bye for now.
01:32Bye for now.
01:32Bye for now.
01:33Bye for now.
01:33Bye for now.
