Imphal, Feb. 2 -- Manipur speaker Thokchom Satyabrata Singh has said that the National People's Party (NPP) legislators will be allowed to sit in the opposition bench in the upcoming 7th session of the 12th Manipur Legislative Assembly scheduled to be held on February 10.

Talking to newsmen at Mayang Imphal on Sunday, the speaker said that the new initiative is being followed to fulfill the demands of the NPP National President (Conrad K. Sangma) and his party (NPP), withdrawing support to the BJP government in Manipur.

The NPP, led by Meghalaya chief minister Sangma, had on 17 November 2024 withdrawn support to the BJP-led government in Manipur, claiming that CM Biren Singh-led Manipur government "completely failed to restore normalcy"...
