Congress Demands Manipur CM's Resignation and Fresh Elections Amid Violence
The Congress party has called for the resignation of Manipur Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh, citing his government's inability to control ongoing violence in the state. They demand the dissolution of the state assembly and fresh elections to restore peace. Congress leaders also urge protection for all civilians, time-bound investigations into killings and property damage, and the safe return of displaced people. The unrest has resulted in hundreds of deaths and tens of thousands displaced since May 2023, with criticism directed at both state and central governments for failing to address the crisis.
