Read our privacy policy A group of aligned opposition parties in India carried out a two-day visit to the violence-stricken state of Manipur and lashed out at prime minister Narendra Modi for his “brazen indifference” over the civil strife that has carried on for months. The ongoing violence in Manipur is raising fears of a “civil war” as two of the state’s largest communities, the Kukis and Meiteis, are up in arms against each other. Lashing out at Mr Modi for his silence, the delegation said the violence that has engulfed several parts of the state showed “his brazen indifference to the violence in Manipur,” citing figures of the destruction in the ethnic conflict that has continued for over three months now. “The failure of both the Central and state government to protect the lives and properties of the people of the two communities is apparent from the figures of more than 140 deaths, more than 500 injuries, burning of more than 5,000 houses and internal displacement of more than 60,000 people,” the memorandum said.
