Manipur Conflict

The Editors Guild recently asserted that media coverage of the ethnic unrest in Manipur was biased and criticized the state's political leadership.

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.

As the violence continues in Manipur, 118 checkpoints have been set up and 326 individuals have been detained throughout the state.

Hostilities started with firing by one side around 10 p.m. on Tuesday, which sparked retaliation and more violence that continued well into the early hours of Wednesday.

The commission must provide its report to the Centre as soon as possible but no later than six months from the date of its first sitting.
