United Naga Council seeks Manipur deputy CM Nemcha Kipgen’s removal amid fresh violence
The United Naga Council also called for the arrest of Kuki National Front chief Thangboi Kipgen and suspension of the SoO pact with Kuki groups.
The United Naga Council (UNC) has demanded the removal of Manipur deputy chief minister Nemcha Kipgen during tripartite peace talks in Assam. She is accused of being involved in ongoing violence with Kuki insurgent groups. UNC also called for the arrest of her husband, Thangboi Kipgen, president of the Kuki National Front, an insurgent group under an operational suspension pact with the central government.
The council suspended its economic blockade in Manipur and demanded the declaration of Thangboi Kipgen's group as a terrorist organization. The talks took place amidst fresh violence in Manipur, with two Naga civilians killed on Saturday.
