Amid escalating tensions in Manipur, former Chief Minister N. Biren Singh met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in New Delhi to discuss the fallout from the arrest of Arambai Tenggol leader A. Kanan Singh, which has triggered widespread protests, shutdowns, and curfews across the state.
🔴 Key Highlights:
- Kanan Singh, a former head constable, was arrested by the CBI for alleged involvement in criminal activities linked to ethnic violence.
- His arrest sparked a 10-day bandh call by the Meitei group Arambai Tenggol, leading to road blockades, curfews, and internet suspension in five valley districts.
- Biren Singh and BJP MP Leishemba Sanajaoba held two rounds of talks with Amit Shah, conveying the public’s anger and the fragile situation on the ground.
- Shah has urged all communities to maintain peace, and is reportedly holding dialogues with civil society groups, student unions, and elected representatives.
- Singh emphasized the need for a democratic solution, urging stakeholders to come forward for open dialogue.
📢 Biren Singh’s Statement:
“Our state’s issues have become extremely sensitive. The Home Minister has appealed for peace and assured us that steps will be taken to restore democratic governance.”
⚠️ Strategic Impact:
- The Centre is considering the formation of a popular government, but only after stability is restored.
- The release of 10 Arambai Tenggol members signals a flexible approach by authorities to de-escalate tensions.
