Imphal, Mar 14:
Chief Minister N. Biren Singh who had left Imphal for New Delhi yesterday in a hasty manner by even skipping a state function at JN Dance Academy, where the governor of Manipur Sushri Anusuiya Uikye attended as Chief Guest returns to Imphal after meeting the Union Home Minister Amid Shah and attending various other functions.
Chief Minister’s sudden departure to Delhi created an atmosphere of apprehension assuming it as an outcome of the March 10 state cabinet decision to abrogate the Suspension of operation with rebel group KNO and the ZRA. As of now, no official revelation has been made in connection with the talk between Home Minister Amid Shah and Chief Minister N. Biren Singh regarding the state cabinet decision for the withdrawal of the SOO with the KNO and ZRA.
But gestures of both the two leaders tweeted by Chief Minister N. Biren Singh showed that the Union Home Minister has no issues with the state cabinet decision. However, as the SOO with the KNO and ZRA is a tripartite one expectation about the decision from the Union Home Ministry in this regard is confusing.
As tweeted by Chief Minister N Biren Singh, he had apprised the latest political situation of this sensitive border state called to the Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
N. Biren in his Facebook said, “Delighted to meet Hon’ble Home Minister Shri Amit ShahJi in New Delhi today.”
The CM also posted on FB stating that “We discussed various issues pertaining to the security of the state as well as the welfare and development of Manipur.”
The Kuki National Organization (KNO), one of the umbrella outfits of the Kuki insurgents and an entity of the tripartite talks with the Centre and the Manipur Government has termed the decision of the State Cabinet to withdraw the Kuki National Army (KNA) and the Zomi Revolutionary Army (ZRA) from the SoO as contradictory to the very essence of the agreements.
During his Delhi visit the CM also took part in the Yoga Mahotsav-2023, an event to commemorate 100 days Countdown to International Day of Yoga 2023 at Talkatora Indoor Stadium, New Delhi.
N.Biren Singh also met Union Ministers Sarbananda Sonowal & G. Kishan Reddy and Union Ministers of State Dr Munjpara Mahendrabhai Kalubhai and Meenakshi Lekhi, before attending the event of Yoga Mahotsav 2023 in New Delhi.
