My apology was for the victims, not terrorists'

January 04, 2025

Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on Friday clarified that his recent apology over the ethnic violence in the state was directed at the victims, not "terrorists".

- HT Correspondent letters@hindustantimes.com

IMPHAL:

"What I said was totally an apology expressing my sadness and grief towards the victims. Those who are suffering, those who have lost loved ones," Singh said on the sidelines of former Union home secretary Ajay Kumar Bhalla's swearing-in as the 20th Governor of Manipur at Raj Bhavan.

"I am seeking an apology from them on humanitarian ground. I'm saying sorry to them not to anybody else. Why should I say sorry to terrorists? No, I'm saying sorry to those innocent people who have lost their loved ones, who were displaced from their homes," he added.

The clarification came after opposition parties Congress and Communist Party of India (CPI) criticised Singh's December 31 apology as insufficient. The chief minister had earlier expressed regret about the ongoing ethnic conflict that has gripped the northeastern state since May 2023.

Ignored Sarfaraz to not move up the batting order

Gearing up for a fresh Ranji season with an eye on bigger personal honours is what Sarfaraz Khan has done a lot of. Being constantly on the waiting list is also something he's learned to deal with. It may have led to frustration, but it never broke him. To lose favour after making it to the elite level can be deflating though and will test the resilience of the middle-order batter.
