Another NDA ally takes aim at Biren Singh’s leadership: ‘His continuation (as Manipur CM) shameful’
Mizo National Front’s Zoramthanga was Mizoram CM when conflict began last year. The party is now in opposition.
"Chief Minister Biren Singh’s inaction and misuse of power have only worsened the situation, making his continuation in office both untenable and shameful," said MNF The Mizo National Front, now in the Opposition in Mizoram, on Thursday called for the removal of N Biren Singh from the position of Manipur Chief Minister, saying that the “suffering inflicted on Zofate brethren” – referring to the Kuki-Zomi community – in the ongoing conflict “has reached intolerable levels”.
The MNF’s Zoramthanga was the chief minister of Mizoram when the conflict in Manipur began last year. He had expressed concern and support for the Kuki-Zomi community, and Mizoram had seen over 12,000 people from the community displaced by the conflict taking shelter there.
The MNF is still part of the NDA.
The Zoram People’s Movement, elected to power in Mizoram last year, has also followed a policy of solidarity with the Kuki-Zomi community, which shares a deep ethnic bond with the Mizos.
