Nine Naga legislators in Manipur, including Deputy Chief Minister Losii Dikho, have urged Union Home Minister Amit Shah to take immediate action against Kuki-Zo leaders over alleged involvement in recent attacks and killings of Naga civilians.
The legislators further demanded action against Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen, alleging collusion between her office and a Kuki armed group. They also called for the immediate abrogation of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) agreement with all Kuki armed groups, citing alleged violations and attacks on civilians.
Separately, the United Naga Council (UNC) on Monday issued an urgent directive asking Naga tribal organisations and village authorities to prevent villagers from cooperating with government officials involved in the census exercise scheduled to begin on September 1, 2026.
They warned that failure to act on their demands could make it difficult for them to defend their continued support for the Manipur government before the public.
