According to the news article, the Manipur Violence has been caused by the feud between the Kuki and Meitei communities. The NCB officer stated that Manipur has done a lot to fight narcotics, but intelligence agencies believe that the current violence is being used to fuel the feuding between the two communities. The CM of Manipur has been criticized for giving the impression that only hill people and tribes like the Kukis are being targeted in the name of destroying poppy cultivation. BJP MLAs from the hills have come to meet the union home minister to voice their concerns about the mishandling of the situation by the government.
