Manipur: Naga MLAs Urge Amit Shah to Arrest Kuki-Zo Leaders, Including Dy CM’s Husband
Nine Naga MLAs warned they may leave the BJP-led government if the Centre does not act against Nemcha Kipgen and Kuki-Zo leaders.
On Monday, The Naga MLAs delivered a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah, demanding action against Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen for allegedly "colluding" with a Kuki insurgent group.
The Naga MLAs seek justice for six Naga civilians whose mutilated bodies were recovered on June 10, with four more killed in an ambush on August 27 by Kuki militants.
They demanded the arrest of Thangboi Kipgen, head of the Kuki National Front faction, and the immediate abrogation of the 2008 Suspension of Operation agreement signed with 25 Kuki-Zo rebel groups.
Threatening to withdraw from the BJP-led government, The Naga MLAs warned they are "unable to defend or adequately respond" to public challenges if authorities fail to act against Kipgen.
As the mutilated bodies of six Naga men remain unclaimed in protest, The Naga MLAs maintain their action serves the "larger interest of the people of Manipur" out of necessity.
