There has been a conflict between the Kuki and Meitei communities in Manipur for more than a year. The Meitei community started protesting against a decision of the Manipur High Court regarding reservation and only after this there was an incident of conflict with the Kuki community. During this, a video of two women of the Kuki community being paraded naked went viral. After this, the opposition strongly targeted the Modi government and the BJP. Opposition parties including the Congress still raise the issue of PM Modi not visiting Manipur.
