Meitei extremists belong to the main insurgent groups in the north east ("Country Report - April 2004") [#22427],  [ID 7522]

"6.149 According to the US Department of State Report 2003, “Separatist guerrillas were responsible for numerous, serious abuses, including killing of armed forces personnel, police, Government officials, and civilians; torture; rape; and other forms of brutality. Separatist guerrillas also were responsible for kidnapping and extortion in Jammu and Kashmir and the north eastern States. Insurgency and ethnic violence is a problem in the seven north eastern States”.[2c](p2) The same report continues, “The main insurgent groups in the north east included two factions of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) in Nagaland; Meitei extremists in Manipur; the ULFA and the Bodo security force in Assam; and the All Tripura Tiger Force (ATTF) and the National Liberation Front of Tripura (NLFT) in Tripura. The proclaimed objective of many of these groups was secession. Their stated grievances against the Government range from charges of neglect and indifference to the widespread poverty of the region, to allegations of active discrimination against the tribal and nontribal people of the region by the central Government”.
