In India, a no-confidence debate against Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government for being unable to control the violence in Manipur state began at Lok Sabha today.

Indian Opposition Alliance had tabled the no-confidence motion to pressure Modi government for action to stop ethnic cleansing in the violence-torn state.

In the ethnic violence that has ravaged Manipur state, women have been victims of brutal attacks.

India's northeastern states have been historically prone to insurgencies and ethnic violence but the vicious conflict in Manipur hit world headlines last month when a video surfaced of two women.
