Manipur video causes outrage in India
However, Mr Modi has failed to speak out about the clashes between the politically-dominant Meitei Hindu community of the valley and the Christian Kuki-Zomi tribals who live in the hills. The demonstrations outside parliament prompted Indian Home Minister Amit Shah to break his silence on the matter. He said he was ready for a"discussion" with the opposition Congress party on the matter."I request the opposition to let a discussion take place on this issue. It is important that the country gets to know the truth on this sensitive matter," he added.
However, both houses of parliament were forced to adjourn as the opposition demanded a statement from Mr Modi.Manipur: 'My heart is full of pain' Congress leader Mallikarjun Kharge tweeted it was Modi's"duty to make a comprehensive statement inside the Parliament on Manipur violence".
