The letter to Governor Anusuiya Uikey mentioned: “After careful consideration of the current conflagration, the continued support for the incumbent government of Manipur led by Chief Minister N Biren Singh is no longer fructuous.” "Accordingly, the support of the KPA to the Government of Manipur is hereby withdrawn and can be considered null and void," KPA President Haokip said in the letter. A video surfaced on social media showing two women stripped naked and sexually assaulted by a mob of men, drawing attention and public anger to the ethnic conflict in the state-ruled Bharatiya Janata Party.
