Rajya Sabha extends President's Rule in Manipur for six months.
The Rajya Sabha has passed a resolution extending President’s Rule in Manipur for another six months, amid considerable opposition uproar. Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai emphasized that the extension is necessary due to an administrative vacuum, clarifying that the recent violence stemmed from a High Court ruling on reservations, not communal tensions. Despite disruptions from opposition members insisting on a discussion about electoral revisions in Bihar, the resolution was adopted through a voice vote. The situation highlights the ongoing challenges in governance and the complexities of addressing regional stability while managing parliamentary procedures.
