Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on Sunday said that the current crisis in Manipur is not a clash between ethnic group and not a law-and-order issue of the state, but purely a war against the Indian Union by Myanmar and Bangladesh based Kuki militants in collaboration with militant groups operating in Manipur.
Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF), an apex body of tribals in Manipur, on Sunday night called an indefinite shutdown in Churachandpur district in protest against the “abduction of 7 Kuki-Zo people including two minors”.
The Chief Minister said that the current crisis was instigated by a group of people who want to disintegrate the state, but shown as ethnic or communal clash, or religion based, or between majority and minority, however, with the voice of people, the real cause has come up
