Imphal, Aug 20 : Various political parties and Civil Society Organisations (CSO) in Manipur on Saturday told the visiting CPI-M delegation that "due to the far reaching conspiracies of the BJP-RSS, the ethnic violence erupted in the state".

CPI-M Central Committee Member Jitendra Choudhury said that most of the political parties and CSOs are saying that the BJP-RSS conspiracies led to the present ethnic crisis in Manipur and distressed the thousands of people. 

Choudhury, who is one of the members of the four-member delegation of the Left party led by CPI-M General Secretary Sitaram Yechury, said that Home Minister Amit Shah, his deputy Nityanand Rai, Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma visited the state and fuel to the fire instead of taking appropriate steps to control the situation.
