Manipur Naga Bodies Appeal to PM Modi: Probe Kuki Killings & Proxy War
Manipur's Naga organizations are calling on PM Modi for a judicial probe into the killing of 6 Nagas and to end the alleged 'proxy war' by armed Kuki groups. Tensions escalate in the region.
Naga civil society groups in Manipur have issued an urgent appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, demanding a judicial probe into the tragic killing of six Naga individuals. This call comes after a Kuki body reportedly apologised for these deaths, an incident that has further inflamed long-standing ethnic tensions in the already volatile state.
The United Naga Council (UNC), alongside other prominent Naga organisations, held a press conference in Delhi, where they articulated their deep concerns. They formally submitted a memorandum to the Prime Minister, asserting that armed Kuki groups, including one allegedly based in neighbouring Myanmar, are actively waging a "proxy war" against the Naga community in Manipur. This grave accusation highlights the complex and deeply rooted ethnic strife gripping the region.
The plea to the Prime Minister extends beyond just an investigation into these specific killings. It seeks comprehensive action to address the broader issue of alleged targeted violence and the suspected presence of external elements fueling the conflict. The Naga bodies emphasize the critical need for immediate intervention from the central government to de-escalate the precarious situation and ensure that justice is served for the victims and their communities.
The current unrest serves as a stark reminder of the delicate peace in Manipur, a state characterized by its diverse ethnic landscape and historical grievances. The collective call for a judicial inquiry and decisive action against the alleged perpetrators of this "proxy war" reflects a desperate effort to find resolution and restore stability in a region yearning for lasting peace.
