New Delhi, Jun 24 (PTI) : Various opposition parties Saturday urged the government to take immediate steps to restore peace in violence-hit Manipur and send an all-party delegation to the state, with the Congress and some others demanding the removal of Chief Minister N Biren Singh saying peace under him is not possible.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah, who convened an all-party meeting in Parliament complex, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi has been constantly monitoring the Manipur situation since day one and “guiding us with full sensitivity” to find a solution to the problem.
Eighteen political parties including the BJP and four MPs from the northeast and two chief ministers from the region attended the meeting.
