Manipur BJP MLA Urges Withdrawal of Central Forces for Peace

Manipur BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh requested Union Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw central forces from the state, arguing they have not helped restore peace. Singh believes that handing over command to state forces and the Chief Minister's leadership will be more effective in curbing violence.

Manipur BJP MLA Rajkumar Imo Singh has appealed to Union Home Minister Amit Shah to withdraw central forces from the strife-torn state, citing their ineffectiveness in restoring peace.

In a letter to Shah, Singh, who is also the son-in-law of Chief Minister N Biren Singh, argued that around 60,000 central troops have failed to bring stability.

Singh suggested transferring the Unified Command authority to the state government for better coordination and efficiency in tackling the ongoing violence.
