Albert Einstein said, “You cannot solve a problem with the same mind that created it.”

Honorable CM . You need to change your mindset and use critical thinking in finding solutions and other peaceful Alternatives 🙏🏻

[Paquito-qvie]

If he doesn't want violence he would have already handle the situation in the very beginning .And now he acts innocent.nice acting 😂😂

[Lana-yu]

And to think that Kukis with a population of 13% would wage war against both Meiteis (55% of the population) as well as state machinery is laughable.

All the national media should stop using the sentence " Tribals including Nagas & Kukis constitute 40% of the total population in Manipur"... The nagas are not involved so no need to count them when reporting the current conflict. The Kukis constitute only appx 13% of the total population & Meiteis are 55% with control of all state machinery.

Father of Drug Business in Manipur talking about killing others' drug business 😂

[SJS]

Most weakest CM ever who doesn't take his own decision to do a thing.

[vanlalduharalte]

The conflict between the two communities was said to be not ethnic cleansing but it was war against poppy cultivators and drug smugglers, but it is a fact that the meitei community committed a brutal action on innocent tribal settlers in imphal and its surrounding areas and why?

[shazibrabha]

Why is he still CM of Manipur he failed his state as the whole....

[hermonshadap]

Yes he spoke the truth that je was the one who started the troubles.

[Nelsonchingangbam]

He is the person responsible for the crisis. He had the guts to start the war against drugs but unable to end this shit. Rather than being a puppet of Amit and modi He must end the shit what he had started.

[sanglian]

He does not understand what he even said.😂

[killertomato]

What a shame.. The people clearly shows they don't want him to be a CM anymore. It's not about BJP or Congress.. People knows the truth who, how, pre plan all this.. CM should be in nutral, if two community have a conflict..
