Will Not Be Resigning, Clarifies Manipur CM
This move aims to prevent any potential disturbances to peace and public order within the jurisdiction of the state. An official order was issued by the government on June 30 after the high-level drama of Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh heading towards resigning and then backtracking.
“This order is issued to prevent any disturbances of the peace and public order in the jurisdiction of the state of Manipur and shall be in force for another 5 days with immediate effect from the time this suspension order becomes operational till 3:00 pm of 05-07-2023,” states the order.
N Biren Singh abandoned the idea of resigning as the Chief Minister of Manipur after appeals from common people of the state and ministers in his cabinet. “I wish to clarify that I will not be resigning from the post of Chief Minister,” said N Biren Singh in a tweet.
