IMPHAL: Embattled Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh on Tuesday apologised for the violence that has roiled the state for 19 months and appealed to warring groups to forget the past, marking the first public expression of regret over the ethnic strife that stoked sweeping condemnation of his administration's role and repeatedly triggered calls for his resignation.
The senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader focussed on the importance of discussion, defended his government's efforts at restoring peace, and called on groups to move on from the past.
