Manipur CM N Biren Singh criticised P Chidambaram after he blamed him for the state's crisis. "Chidambaram is the root cause of the present crisis," Singh said, referencing Chidambaram's tenure as Home Minister. He alleged that Chidambaram brought in Myanmarese insurgent Thanglianpau Guite, exacerbating illegal migration and accused Congress of neglecting Manipur's indigenous people.
