Manipur NPP withdraws support: The NPP withdrew support from the BJP-led government due to the deteriorating law and order situation in Manipur. The party has seven MLAs in the 60-member House. Withdrawal of support will not affect the government as the BJP has a majority on its own. Violence erupted again in the northeastern state of Manipur on Saturday night when protesters, angry over the killing of six people by militants in Jiribam district, attacked the residences of three state ministers and six MLAs, including the ancestral house of Chief Minister N Biren Singh.

Angry protesters set on fire the houses of PWD minister Govindas Konthoujam in Ningthoukhong, Hianglam BJP MLA Y Radheshyam in Langmeidong market, Wangjing Tentha BJP MLA Paonam Brojen in Thoubal district and Khundrakpam Congress MLA Th Lokeshwar in Imphal East district, officials said. However, in response, the government imposed indefinite prohibitory orders in five districts and suspended internet services in parts of the state.

Manipur Police on Sunday said that at least 23 people have been arrested for being part of the mob that allegedly "vandalized houses and set them on fire".
