The governor has accepted his resignation and appointed him as the caretaker chief minister until further arrangements are made.
In this context, the AMUCO president also reiterated his appeal to the authorities to ensure the protection of Village Volunteers, urging them not to confiscate arms and ammunition held by these volunteers for safeguarding their villages.
Luwang also criticized the central government for playing a divisive role in the internal affairs of BJP legislators, particularly by engaging with them individually rather than collectively.
He expressed hope that a unified meeting of BJP legislators in Manipur to elect a new chief minister would be the right course of action for the state at this juncture.
