Opposition Leader Foreced to Helicopter into Violence-Plagued Region of India

Rahul Gandhi, leader of India's opposition Congress party, traveled by helicopter to Manipur after his convoy was stopped by police.
Ethnic clashes in Manipur have left over 100 dead and 40,000 displaced since May.
Gandhi was attempting to visit areas affected by the violence but was prevented from driving into the region due to safety concerns.
Police fired tear gas to disperse crowds that had gathered along Gandhi's travel route.
The violence stems from disputes between ethnic groups over government resources and benefits.
