Manipur Congress accuses Amit Shah, Biren Singh of contradicting each other

Hindustan Times  

The Manipur Congress on Tuesday accused Union home minister Amit Shah and chief minister N. Biren Singh of failing to present a unified stance on the violence in the state and said that their contradictions have led to confusion and stalled efforts to restore peace. Addressing a press conference in Imphal on Tuesday, state Congress chief Keisham Meghachandra said, “Amit Shah recently described the crisis as an ethnic clash between two communities, while Biren Singh blamed illegal infiltrators from Myanmar. These contradictions have led to confusion and stalled efforts to restore peace.” He also recalled Shah’s earlier remarks during the 2023 no-confidence motion, where the home minister blamed both a Manipur high court ruling on the Meitei’s ST demand and illegal infiltrators for the turmoil. Meghachandra further criticised chief minister Biren Singh for his speech on the Vijay Diwas, where Singh claimed he had not received intelligence input for the past 15 months.
