Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh to Meet Governor, Expected to Step Down
Sources reveal that Singh will submit his resignation to the Manipur Governor, acknowledging his inability to address the persistent turmoil. Reports suggest that Singh was presented with a choice between resigning voluntarily or facing the intervention of the central government. With limited alternatives, the chief minister has opted to step down from his position.
In light of these developments, it is anticipated that the Assembly will be temporarily suspended. Meanwhile, a high-level meeting, led by the Ministry of Home Affairs, is currently underway to discuss the unfolding situation in Manipur. The meeting aims to formulate a comprehensive strategy to address the ongoing crisis.
Since May 3, the clashes between the Meiteis and the Kukis have resulted in the tragic loss of approximately 130 lives. Additionally, numerous homes have been destroyed, exacerbating the already dire situation in the region.
Notably, this development coincides with Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's visit to the violence-stricken state. Gandhi's purpose for touring the region is to assess the prevailing conditions and gain a firsthand understanding of the situation.
As Manipur awaits the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh, the hope is that the state can soon find a path towards stability and peace. The forthcoming changes in leadership will undoubtedly play a crucial role in determining the future trajectory of the region.
