He alleged that Singh’s leadership has not only failed to resolve the crisis but also perpetuated the suffering of innocents.
“We demand that Chief Minister Biren Singh step down immediately. Furthermore, the Central Government must take urgent, decisive action to end this crisis once and for all, ensuring that the people of Manipur reclaim their democratic rights and dignity,” Krosehnehzova said.
The MNF media cell general secretary claimed that Singh’s inaction and misuse of power have only worsened the situation, making his continuation in the CM’s office “untenable and shameful”.

The suffering inflicted upon ethnic Zo people or Mizos (Zofate) has reached intolerable levels, the MNF leader claimed.
According to the MNF leader, the ethnic violence has so far left 219 Zo people dead and 41,425 people displaced, who were compelled to take shelter in neighbouring states.
