A relative of a victim of the Khongban Sanurok attack in Manipur has publicly demanded Chief Minister Khemchand Singh’s resignation and the withdrawal of central security forces from the state.
A family member of a person killed in the recent Khongban Sanurok attack has called for the immediate resignation of Manipur Chief Minister Khemchand Singh. The relative also urged the central government to pull back the army and other security forces that have been deployed in the state following the incident.
The demand was voiced during a public gathering in Manipur, where the relative highlighted the perceived failure of the state administration to ensure safety for its citizens. The call reflects growing frustration among some sections of the population over the handling of security challenges in the region.
Political analysts note that such demands could intensify pressure on the state government, especially as the central forces remain a contentious issue in Manipur’s ongoing security strategy. The relative’s statement adds a new dimension to the debate over governance and law‑and‑order measures in the state.
No official response from the chief minister’s office or the central government has been recorded at the time of reporting.
