Biren Singh on Resignation and Manipur's Political Future
The former leader of Manipur, N. Biren Singh, said he had to quit because things got unsafe.
The state is now run by the central government after a fight between groups of people last year.
Singh talked about how hard it was to remove illegal buildings and fight drugs, and how some people disagreed with his actions.
He wants an elected government to be back in charge, as many believe this would help solve the current problems.
N. Biren Singh says he was compelled to resign due to the law and order situation.
Manipur is under President’s Rule after ethnic conflict in May 2023.
Singh spoke about challenges, including eviction drives and anti-drug campaigns.
He contrasted Manipur's experience with Assam's support for eviction drives.
Civil society groups demand the reinstatement of an elected government.
