9 Naga MLAs From Manipur Demand Centre's Action Against Kuki-Zo Leaders

A group of eight Naga legislators from Manipur have written to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, urging him to take strong action against attacks on their community members. The letter, signed by all but one of the nine Naga MLAs, alleges that Kuki-Zo leaders and militant groups are responsible for the violence. Manipur Deputy Chief Minister Loshii Dikho confirmed the letter to The Indian Express.

The nine MLAs claimed the situation in Manipur is "critical and volatile" and demanded "decisive and bold action" to prevent further deterioration. They presented five demands, including the arrest of Kuki-Zo leaders who claimed responsibility for the killing and dismemberment of six Naga civilians. The legislators also called for the arrest of Thangboi Kipgen from the Kuki National Front-P (KNF-P), alleging his involvement in the murders.

They demanded the end of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement with all Kuki militant groups, citing repeated violations and continued attacks on civilians.
