In September 2015, Biren stated that the recently passed bill in the Manipur Legislative Assembly to protect indigenous peoples would not harm any community in the state. In October 2016, Biren resigned from the Manipur Legislative Assembly and the Manipur Pradesh Congress Committee(MPCC), this came after a revolt against Okram Ibobi Singh, the then Chief Minister of Manipur.
