What did Shah say about the violence in Manipur?

Speaking to a private channel, Shah said the ongoing violence in Manipur was an ethnic conflict. It has nothing to do with terrorism or religion. He said the violence in Manipur has its own history.

I don’t say this as an excuse, just to provide context. Whenever there is an incident of ethnic violence in Manipur, it lasts for a year and a half. In many cases it lasted as long as three years, and many people died in it. This happens because of racial violence. But now the violence has decreased significantly, so these people also want to cause trouble in Parliament to provoke. But I now believe things will get better.
