Imphal: The NSCN (IM) has formally requested that the Government of India designate Kuki militant groups and their affiliated village volunteers as terrorist organizations. This demand follows the recent abduction and alleged killing of six Naga civilians in Manipur, an incident the group has denounced as a severe violation of human dignity.
In an official statement, the organization condemned the killings and the reported mutilation of the victims. The group argued that these actions go beyond conflict and constitute clear acts of terrorism by international standards. Regarding the treatment of the victims, the NSCN (IM) stated, "Even in times of conflict, universal moral norms demand absolute respect for the deceased." The group warned that allowing these entities to maintain any form of political legitimacy would only encourage further violence and jeopardize long-term peace efforts.
The statement also accused Indian security forces of failing to prevent the loss of life while simultaneously taking aggressive action against Naga women protesters, student activists, and village guards. The NSCN (IM) questioned the government's commitment to constitutional principles of equality and protection, urging federal authorities to ensure those responsible for the deaths face justice.
