There were "significant" human rights abuses in Manipur after the outbreak of ethnic conflict in the state, the United States State department said in its "Country Reports on Human Rights Practices." The report also raises concerns over the Income Tax department "surveys" at offices of the British Broadcasting Corporation and the conviction and sentencing of two years of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi by a Gujarat court. There has been no immediate comment on the report from the Indian government.
