Illegal migrants, drug mafia hit by BJP govt: Manipur CM

Hindustan Times  

For 18 months now, Nongthombam Biren Singh, 63, has continued to govern a state in the grips of an internecine ethnic conflict, surviving demands for his ouster as chief minister, from the Opposition, and also from members of his own party. The government is working towards restoring peace but vested interests, including opposition, drug mafia, and illegal migrants do not want us here. There are illegal refugees and drug mafia, who have been affected by the BJP government’s work on protecting our nation’s interests. The drug mafia, illegal migrants want this to go on because they know before the violence Biren Singh was hitting their illegal operations. I am being targeted because our government has cut off one of the main drug routes of the Golden Triangle and stopped illegal entry into Manipur.
