Imphal, May 28 2023:
In denunciation of the alleged failure to con-tain outbreak of fresh vio-lence and lack of initiatives to restore normalcy even after 28 days since the com-munal clash broke out on May 3, enraged protesters set ablaze the effigy of chief minister N Biren Singh at Wangjing-Heirok road junc-tion in Thoubal district, on Sunday.
Speaking to the media, a protestor accused CM Biren of maintaining stoic silence even as the violence claimed several lives.
While con-demning the CM's inaction despite death of state forces in firing by Kuki militants, the protester demanded immediate resignation of N Biren from the chief minis-ter's so as to facilitate return of normalcy at the earliest.
