During a meeting, Naga legislators in Manipur urged the removal of Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen as the state’s political turmoil deepens.
Manipur’s ongoing political unrest prompted a gathering of Naga legislators who discussed the deteriorating situation in the state. The lawmakers used the forum to voice a collective demand for the removal of Deputy Chief Minister Nemcha Kipgen, whom they hold responsible for aggravating tensions.
The Naga MLAs argued that Kipgen’s continued presence in the cabinet hampers efforts to restore peace and normalcy, especially in areas with significant Naga populations. Their call for her ouster reflects growing frustration among regional representatives over the handling of the crisis.
State officials have not yet responded publicly to the demand, but the demand adds further pressure on the Manipur government to address the grievances of the Naga community and seek a political solution to the unrest.
