Centre's Inability To Act Responsible For Fresh Violence In Manipur | OPINION

ABP News  

This week, unrest returned to the valley in the strife-torn state of Manipur as protesting students clashed with the police. Consequently, the Meiteis have resorted to protests to voice their demands, which include the removal of Centre-appointed security advisor Kuldiep Singh, state DGP Rajiv Singh, and the return of the Unified Command’s charge to Chief Minister Biren Singh. When the violence erupted in the state last year, the Centre appointed Kuldiep Singh as the state security advisor, placing him in charge of the Unified Command, which oversees operations by the Indian Army, Assam Rifles, Border Security Force, and Central Reserve Police Force. Centre Needs To Impose President’s Rule Immediately One of the demands of the protesting students was to return the charge of the Unified Command to Chief Minister Biren Singh. Since the eruption of violence in the state last year, the Centre has shied away from fully taking control of the state and has been in charge of the state partially through its security advisor.
