Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh hit back at Congress leader Jairam Ramesh for criticising Prime Minister Narendra Modi for not visiting Manipur. Singh accused the Congress of ‘playing politics’ over it all the time instead of focusing on resolving the state’s core issues.

Singh alleged that the Congress party‘s past actions had created the current turmoil in the state. Singh also pointed out the repeated settlement of Burmese refugees in Manipur and the signing of the SoO (Suspended Operations) Agreement with Myanmar-based militants, which was led by former Home Minister P Chidambaram.

“Everyone, including yourself, is aware that Manipur is in turmoil today because of the past sins committed by the Congress, such as the repeated settlement of Burmese refugees in Manipur and the signing of the SoO Agreement with Myanmar-based militants in the state, spearheaded by P Chidambaram during his tenure as the Home Minister of India,” the Manipur CM wrote on X.
