US Singer Mary Millben again backs PM Modi on Manipur issue

US singer Mary Millben once again came in support of Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the ‘Manipur issue’ and said that Modi will always fight for the freedom of the strife-torn northeastern state.

Taking to her official Twitter handle, the US singer wrote, “The truth: India has confidence in its leader. The mothers, daughters, and women of #Manipur, India will receive justice. And #PMModi will always fight for your freedom.”

The American singer also lashed out at the Opposition in India. “The truth: to associate with a party that dishonors cultural legacy, denies children the right to sing the anthem of its country, and degrades one’s country abroad, this is not leadership. This is unprincipled,” she said.

She further wrote “Dishonest journalism will paint false narratives. Opposition voices will chant loudly without substance. But the truth, the truth will always set people free”.

Referring to Martin Luther King Jr.'s words “Let Freedom Ring”, Millben wrote, “My beloved India, let truth…ring.”

She also supported Modi over the ‘no-confidence motion’ brought against his government and said, “You have my confidence. I'm praying for you. #LokSabha.”

Earlier, when PM Modi addressed the media on viral video of two women being paraded naked in the violence-hit state, Millben thanked the prime minister for “publicly addressing the inhuman behavior against the women in Manipur.” Calling the women “children of God,” Millben said, “My heart grieves for the women assaulted in Manipur.”

During Modi's historic state visit to the United States in June, Mary Millben touched his feet after singing India's national anthem Jana Gana Mana - and the video of the same went viral.
