Amit Shah Meets Biren Singh to Discuss Manipur Government Formation
Union Home Minister Amit Shah met former Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh in New Delhi to discuss the formation of a government in Manipur, which has been under President's Rule for nearly 11 months. The meeting, lasting about an hour, focused on creating a conducive environment for restoring a popular government following ethnic violence that began in May 2023, resulting in at least 260 deaths and displacing 60,000 people. No official statement has been released regarding the discussions, and there is currently no timeline for government restoration. This marks Shah's second meeting related to Manipur in the last fortnight, as efforts continue to address the political situation in the state.
