Manipur Governor Orders Upcoming Assembly Session Null & Void
In a sudden turn of events, the seventh session of the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly, which was slated to begin on February 10, has been declared “null and void” by Governor Ajay Kumar Bhalla. This decision comes after Chief Minister N Biren Singh tendered his resignation to the Governor on Sunday at the Raj Bhavan in Imphal.
The announcement was made public through a notification issued by the Raj Bhavan, Imphal, stating that the upcoming assembly session has been cancelled with immediate effect. This move has sent shockwaves across the state, leaving many wondering about the implications of this sudden development.
The session was originally scheduled to convene on February 10, with a list of important bills and agenda items lined up for discussion. However, with the Chief Minister’s resignation and the subsequent cancellation of the session, all plans and preparations have been put on hold.
According to sources, the decision to cancel the session was taken by Governor Bhalla following a meeting with Chief Minister N Biren Singh, who had tendered his resignation on Sunday. The exact reasons behind the Chief Minister’s resignation are still unclear, but it is believed to be linked to the ongoing political crisis in the state.
The Manipur Legislative Assembly has been plagued by controversies and power struggles in recent times, with opposition parties accusing the ruling BJP-led government of corruption and mismanagement. The situation took a turn for the worse when Chief Minister N Biren Singh announced his resignation, citing personal reasons.
The cancellation of the assembly session has sparked debate and speculation about the future of the state’s politics. Many have questioned the Governor’s decision to cancel the session, with some calling it a “knee-jerk reaction” to the Chief Minister’s resignation.
Others have expressed concern about the impact of this decision on the state’s governance and development. With the assembly session cancelled, important bills and agenda items will not be discussed, which could have far-reaching consequences for the state’s economy and people.
The situation is further complicated by the fact that the Manipur Legislative Assembly was already facing a crisis, with several opposition parties calling for a no-confidence motion against the Chief Minister. The cancellation of the session has effectively shelved this motion, leaving many wondering about the future of the state’s politics.
In the midst of this uncertainty, the Governor’s office has maintained that the decision to cancel the session was taken in accordance with the provisions of the Manipur Legislative Assembly (Procedure and Conduct of Business) Rules, 1962. However, many have questioned the legality and validity of this decision, with some calling for a thorough investigation into the matter.
As the situation in Manipur continues to unfold, one thing is clear – the cancellation of the assembly session has sent shockwaves across the state, leaving many wondering about the future of the state’s politics. The Governor’s decision has raised more questions than answers, and it remains to be seen how this situation will play out in the coming days and weeks.
