Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh has attacked the previous governments at the Centre for neglecting the northeastern state and its concerns over the long border shared with Myanmar. He indirectly targeted the previous governments led by the Congress. Speaking to NDTV about the violence that has gripped Manipur since May 2023, Singh urged the Centre to scrap the contentious "Free Movement Regime." Illegal immigrants from Myanmar and the alleged "narco-terrorism" have been blamed for the unrest.
