Manipur Violence: Manipur has been burning in violence for two months. Police-administration has failed to stop the violence. Every effort of the government has failed. Putting an end to speculation about his resignation, Chief Minister N Biren Singh said the state was at a turning point. In such a situation I want to make it clear that I will not resign from the post of Chief Minister.

In fact, the CM had sought time to meet Governor Anasuya on Friday. After this, the stir has increased in the Chief Minister’s Secretariat and Raj Bhavan. Speculation started that Chief Minister Biren Singh might resign from his post.
As soon as this rumor spread, many women came out in support of Biren Singh at Nupi Lal Complex, about 100 meters away from the CM residence. They have demonstrated outside the residence. The women persuaded the CM not to resign. CM Biren Singh came out of his residence and met the supporting women.
