Opposition parties have demanded the removal of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh and called for the imposition of President's rule in the northeastern state, arguing that peace cannot be achieved until trust is re-established among local communities. This came to light during an all-party meeting convened by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Saturday.
Priyanka Chaturvedi of the Shiv Sena emphasised the unified stance of the opposition, stating that the "peace process can only start when the trust factor is addressed among communities". The meeting, which was attended by eighteen political parties and lasted for over three and a half hours, centred around the escalating tensions in Manipur.
The Congress party called for Mr Singh's immediate dismissal as well, while the Samajwadi Party and others advocated for President's rule due to the ongoing violence that has plagued the state since May 3. The government, however, refrained from making any commitments, even as several parties proposed an all-party delegation visit to the troubled state.
