The Manipur People's Party has called for the resignation of the state’s chief minister and home minister, blaming them for failing to protect civilians amid recent killings.
The Manipur People's Party (MPP) released a statement demanding that both the chief minister and the home minister step down, alleging that they have not been able to safeguard the people of Manipur. The party said the recent civilian killings highlight a failure of the state’s leadership to ensure law and order.
The demand comes after a series of incidents in which civilians were killed, prompting widespread concern across the state. MPP officials argued that the authorities' inability to prevent such violence undermines public confidence and warrants accountability at the highest levels.
As of now, neither the chief minister’s office nor the home ministry has publicly responded to the party’s call for resignation. The issue is expected to intensify political debate ahead of upcoming electoral contests in the region.
