The former Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh along with the President of the MPCC M. Okendro Singh has also demanded the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on moral ground.
“This government is claiming to be transparent and even stated that no one will be spared if found guilty, but how”, Okram Ibobi Singh questioned saying that the Chief Minister, who is also in charge of Home department had utilized the department as per the affidavit and how could anybody believe that justice will be delivered when handed over the case to the State Police.
He further said that such a case should be handed over to a body like the CBI, for that, an immediate cabinet meeting should be convened and later the resolution adopted should be sent to the Prime Minister Office and get approval for the investigation.
