Manipur, a state in northeastern India, is experiencing renewed ethnic violence following the discovery of six bodies believed to belong to the Meitei community. The Meitei allege these individuals were kidnapped and killed by Kuki armed groups, though police have not confirmed this. The incident has led to violent protests, internet shutdowns, and an indefinite curfew in certain areas. The ongoing conflict between the Meitei and Kuki communities, which began in May 2022, has resulted in over 200 deaths and significant displacement. The Indian government has deployed top security officials to address the escalating tensions.

"Press Freedom Threatened: India Editors' Body Charged for Manipur Report"

Police in Manipur, India have filed two cases against members of the Editors Guild of India (EGI), accusing them of promoting enmity between different groups and criminal conspiracy, among other charges. The cases were filed after the EGI issued a report condemning the local media's biased reporting of the months-long ethnic violence in Manipur. The report highlighted the allegedly partisan role of the state leadership in dealing with the violence. The United Nations' rights experts have criticized the Indian government's slow and inadequate response to the alleged rights violations in Manipur. Press freedom in Manipur has been under attack, with journalists facing defamation and sedition cases. The EGI report has been criticized for being biased in favor of the community that suffered greater losses, while local media reports in Manipur have been biased in favor of the dominant ethnic group. The Press Club of India has condemned the police cases against the EGI members and called for their withdrawal.

India's Modi survives no-confidence vote amidst ethnic violence and political controversies

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi easily survived a no-confidence vote brought by the opposition over his handling of an ethnic conflict in Manipur. Critics accused Modi of prioritizing the interests of his party and Hindu nationalist constituency over addressing the violence. In a two-hour speech, Modi dismissed the vote as an attempt to defame India and listed his achievements while attacking the opposition Congress party. The political standoff raises tensions ahead of national elections, but surveys indicate Modi remains popular and is expected to win a third term. The vote was seen as more of a show of opposition unity than a serious threat to Modi's political standing.

"Modi's Silence on Ethnic Violence in Manipur Sparks No-Confidence Vote"

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is facing a no-confidence vote in Parliament over his silence on the ethnic violence in Manipur, where his party is in power. The conflict, triggered by an affirmative action controversy, has resulted in over 150 deaths and the displacement of over 50,000 people. Critics argue that Modi's silence on such issues, including the COVID-19 Delta surge and communal violence, harms his image and shows a lack of empathy. The opposition hopes that the no-confidence motion will force Modi to address the crisis in Manipur. The violence in Manipur poses a danger to communal relations and could potentially spread to other states in India's northeast, with implications for India's defense posture against China.

India's Sectarian War Threatens Modi's Reputation

A sectarian conflict between the Meitei community and the Kuki tribals in India's Manipur state has escalated into a deepening crisis, with no sign of resolution after almost three months of violence. The conflict has killed over 180 people, displaced tens of thousands, and led to accusations of bias against the state government and police. The violence has severely dented Prime Minister Narendra Modi's image, as he prepares to host a G20 summit and faces a no-confidence motion in parliament. The Kukis, who make up a third of the Meitei population, have borne the brunt of the violence and are demanding a separate state within India.
