BJP MLAs from Manipur arrive at party headquarters in Delhi for Legislative Party meeting

BJP MLAs from Manipur hold a legislative party meeting in Delhi days before President's Rule expires. NDA partners to meet next.

"All NDA partners have been invited....Let's hope for a positive response. - N Biren Singh"

New Delhi, February 3

A meeting of BJP MLAs from Manipur is being held in the national capital days ahead of the end of the President's rule in the northeastern state. The meeting will be followed by a meeting of NDA partners in the state.

President's rule was imposed in Manipur on February 13 last year and was later extended by Parliament in August last year for another six months.

Former Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh said on Sunday that NDA partners in the state have been called to Delhi for a meeting. "All NDA partners have been invited....Let's hope for a positive response," Biren Singh told reporters.

"The government is a continuing process. I try my best to change the landscape in the state of Manipur," he added.

President's Rule was imposed in Manipur on February 13, 2025, after N Biren Singh stepped down as Chief Minister following months of intermittent violence in the state, following ethnic tensions between the Kuki Zo and Meitei ethnic groups.

Union Home Ministry in December gave another extension to the Commission of Inquiry probing the ethnic violence in Manipur, instructing it to submit its report "as soon as possible, but no later than May 20, 2026."

The commission is tasked with probing the ethnic violence that erupted in Manipur on May 3, 2023, examining its causes as well as the authorities' response.

The people of Manipur have suffered enough. While political meetings in Delhi are important, the real test is on the ground. I hope this leads to a government that prioritizes reconciliation and justice for all victims of the violence.

The Commission of Inquiry's deadline keeps getting pushed. Justice delayed is justice denied. Forming a government is one thing, but ensuring the report sees the light of day and action is taken is what truly matters.

As someone from the Northeast, I feel the focus is always on Delhi deciding things. Local voices and aspirations need to be at the forefront. Hope the MLAs remember they represent Manipuris first.

Watching from abroad, it's clear restoring normalcy in Manipur is vital for India's Act East policy and overall stability. A functional state government is the first step. Wishing them success.

Biren Singh saying he tries to "change the landscape" – the landscape needs healing, sir, not just changing. The new government, whoever leads it, must focus on bridging the deep ethnic divide with concrete confidence-building measures.
