Yechury leads delegation to Manipur, reiterates demand for CM Biren’s ouster

The violence in Manipur has been going on for too long and should not be allowed to continue, Communist Party of India (Marxist) general secretary Sitaram Yechury said on Friday, reiterating the Opposition’s demand that Chief Minister N. Biren Singh should be sacked. He is leading a four-member delegation of the party on a three-day visit to Manipur.

“There is a double-engine government with the BJP government in the State and at the Centre, so they are squarely responsible for the situation here. We are here to do whatever is required on our part of help in restoring normalcy. It has been going on for too long and should not be allowed to continue like this,” Mr. Yechury said.
