Amid tensions in state CM Biren Singh met with Amit Shah in Delhi

New Delhi: Amid tension in the state, Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh, four cabinet ministers and state BJP chief A Sharda Devi met Amit Shah on Sunday.
The meeting lasted for about two hours and focused on restoring peace in the violence-hit northeastern state of Manipur.

According to reports, the Manipur government has been asked by the Center to communicate with the people and make a mega outreach about the situation.
The Chief Minister of Manipur reportedly advised the central government to take strict action against the perpetrators of the violence.

The Center has also assured the Manipur government that anyone who tries to disrupt peace in the state will not be spared.
The state ministers, who accompanied Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh to New Delhi, are: Tha Biswajit, Tha Basanta Kumar, Y Khemchand and Govindas Konthoujam.

It may be mentioned here that the Congress party said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah should focus on Manipur, at least now, that the BJP has lost the elections in Karnataka.

The North East Congress Coordination Committee (NECCC) said PM Modi and Amit Shah should follow “Raj Dharma” and focus on restoring peace in violence-hit Manipur.
