Home Minister Amit Shah is likely to move a statutory resolution in the Rajya Sabha in the ongoing Monsoon Session of the Parliament to extend President’s Rule in Manipur for another six months.
According to the Rajya Sabha bulletin, Mr. Shah’s notice was admitted for Thursday (July 24, 2025) but the House was adjourned around 2:15 p.m. following protest by the Opposition against the Election Commission’s Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in Bihar.
The statutory resolution notice said, “That this House approves the continuance in force of the Proclamation dated the 13 February, 2025 in respect of Manipur, issued under Article 356 of the Constitution by the President, for a further period of six months with effect from 13 August, 2025.”
Manipur was placed under President’s Rule on February 13 following the resignation of Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on February 9.
