Manipur CM Calls for Resignation of Congress MP Angomcha Bimol Akoijam Over JNU Dismissal

Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh publicly urged Congress legislator Angomcha Bimol Akoijam to resign from the Lok Sabha after the MP was dismissed from Jawaharlal Nehru University. Singh said the dismissal raised questions about Akoijam's conduct and suitability for public office. The demand was conveyed in a statement released by the Chief Minister's office, which did not specify any disciplinary proceedings. Akoijam, a representative from Manipur, has not yet responded to the call for his resignation. The issue adds to the ongoing political discourse in the state, with opposition leaders defending the MP's right to retain his seat.
