Imphal: After two years of violence in the state the Chief Minister of Manipur Biren Singh on Sunday tendered his resignation to Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla at Raj Bhawan.
The violence between the Meitei and the Kuki communities in Manipur erupted after a rally by the All Tribal Students Union of Manipur (ATSUM) on May 3, 2023, following the Manipur High Court order directing the state to consider the inclusion of the Meitei community in the Scheduled Tribes list.
He was accompanied by BJP president A Sharda, BJP’s North East Manipur in-charge Sambit Patra, along with at least 19 MLAs.
“It has been an honour to serve the people of Manipur so far,” Singh said in his resignation letter.
“I am extremely grateful to the Central government for timely actions, interventions, developmental work and implementation of various projects for safeguarding the interest of every single Manipuri,” he further said in the letter.
He urged the Central government to continue with the same.
“I take the opportunity to enumerate the most important ones of them: To maintain the territorial integrity of Manipur which has a rich and diverse civilizational history over thousands of years. To crack down on border infiltration and to formulate policy for the deportation of the illegal immigrants. To continue the fight against drugs and narco terrorism. To continue the stringent and fool-proof revised mechanism of FMR with the biometric being stringently applied. Time bound and faster border which is underway,” Singh’s letter read.
