A surprise attack there has now put the state on edge Before Chidambaram deleted his post, Manipur Congress Chief K Meghachandra had commented under it: “Please delete it. Manipur is in turmoil situation. It is very sensitive.” On Tuesday, Congress leader and former Manipur CM Okram Ibobu Singh had also distanced the state unit from Chidambaram’s statement and said these were his personal opinions.

I also personally spoke to Kharge ji that this may be his (Chidambaram’s) personal view but there will be a lot of misunderstanding in the state of Manipur… Immediately Kharge ji spoke to him… immediately he deleted it… We have already informed AICC for appropriate action and I will speak to him not to create such a type of statement for Manipur,” he said. Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh had also lashed out at Chidambaram, alleging that the seeds of the conflict were laid by Chidambaram by entering a Suspension of Operation agreement with the Zomi Revolutionary Army in 2008. © The Indian Express Pvt Ltd First uploaded on:
