Imphal, Sept 18: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Tuesday ruled out change in Manipur over the ongoing violence in the BJP-ruled state.
Shah ruled out Manipur chief minister N. Biren Singh’s resignation over the ongoing violence.
Speculations have been going on that Biren Singh might step down over his alleged mishandling of the ongoing crisis.
While addressing a press conference marking the 100 days of the third term of the NDA government, Shah said that barring three days of violence last week, “the overall situation in Manipur has been calm and the government has been working to restore peace in the state”.
“I am hopeful that we will be able to control the situation. We are talking to both communities. It was ethnic violence and unless there is dialogue between the two communities, no solution can be found,” the home minister said.
“We are talking to the Kuki and Meitei groups and we have prepared a roadmap and will take all possible steps to ensure peace,” he further informed.
Manipur has witnessed ethnic violence since May last year, leaving at least 234 dead and over 60,000 internally displaced.
