Manipur Governor orders upcoming Assembly session null & void
In a sudden turn of events, the Governor of Manipur, Ajay Kumar Bhalla, has declared the seventh session of the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly null and void with immediate effect. This decision comes after Chief Minister N Biren Singh tendered his resignation to the Governor at the Raj Bhavan in Imphal on Sunday.
The seventh session of the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly was set to begin from February 10, with several important agendas on the table. However, with the Governor’s decision, the session has been effectively cancelled.
The news of the cancellation of the Assembly session came as a shock to many, as the no-confidence motion against the N Biren Singh-led government was also set to be taken up during the session. The no-confidence motion was moved by the opposition parties, who had been critical of the government’s handling of various issues, including the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic situation in the state.
The opposition parties had been demanding the resignation of the Chief Minister, citing his inability to tackle the crisis in the state. The no-confidence motion was seen as a last resort to bring about a change in the government, and its cancellation has left many wondering about the future of the N Biren Singh-led government.
The Governor’s decision to cancel the Assembly session has also raised questions about the future of the state’s politics. With the government in shambles, it remains to be seen how the opposition parties will react to the cancellation of the session.
The opposition parties have been vocal about their discontent with the government’s performance, and the cancellation of the session has given them an opportunity to regroup and re-strategize. It is likely that they will try to capitalize on the situation to bring about a change in the government.
In the meantime, the Chief Minister has accepted the Governor’s decision and has expressed his willingness to work with the Governor to resolve the crisis in the state. However, the opposition parties are unlikely to accept anything less than the resignation of the Chief Minister.
The situation in Manipur is fluid, and it remains to be seen how things will unfold in the coming days. One thing is certain, however – the cancellation of the Assembly session has brought the state’s politics to a standstill, and it will take some time for things to return to normal.
