The Indian parliament has been debating a no-confidence motion against the government of Narendra Modi. The opposition wants to force him to address the conflict in Manipur from the floor of Parliament. Ethnic clashes are in their fourth month and have killed over 180 people in the remote state, where Modi’s BJP party is in power. Over 3 Million people live in the mountainous region on India’s border with Myanmar. Tens of thousands have fled the violence, mainly to government camps. Fighting between the majority Meitei and minority Kuki communities continues to claim lives. There’ve also been widespread protests over sexual assaults involving members of both sides.
