Manipur Criticizes Mizoram CM Over Comments on State Crisis

Manipur's government accuses Mizoram CM Lalduhoma of fueling division and alleges a broader agenda tied to illegal immigration and regional fragmentation.

• Manipur's government issued a strong statement condemning Mizoram CM Lalduhoma's remarks about the state's ongoing crisis and leadership under CM N Biren Singh.
• Lalduhoma had criticized Biren Singh as a liability and suggested President's Rule as preferable, citing the state's inability to control ethnic violence over the last 18 months.
• Manipur alleged that illegal immigration from Myanmar and the cultivation of illicit poppy have fueled the crisis, rejecting claims of anti-tribal policies.
• The statement accused Lalduhoma of double standards, pointing out Mizoram's own restrictions on Myanmar immigrants while opposing similar measures by Manipur.
