Manipur: CPI Rejects CM Biren Singh’s Apology Over Ethnic Strife

IMPHAL: The Communist Party of India (CPI) has dismissed the apology offered by Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh over the ethnic conflict in the state, demanding his resignation. “The apology from Chief Minister N. Biren Singh acknowledges the severity of the crisis and highlights the government’s total inability to address the issues affecting the people of Manipur,” the CPI said in a statement.

The party further accused the government of neglecting reconciliation efforts, claiming that no meaningful steps have been taken to foster dialogue or address the deep social divisions caused by the ongoing violence.

The party also criticized the government for showing “no willingness” to involve other political parties in finding a comprehensive solution to the problem. “Prime Minister Modi’s refusal to visit the state or directly engage with the crisis shows his indifference to the suffering of the people. This lack of action from the central government has further eroded trust and worsened the situation,” the CPI said.

The Communist Party of India emphasized that the people of Manipur deserve accountable governance, something they believe the current chief minister has completely failed to provide. “His resignation is crucial to restoring public confidence in the administration and opening the door to a new, people-centered approach to resolving the crisis,” the CPI concluded.
