Naga group warns Arambai Tenggol over treatment of Christians in Manipur

Naga group National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) cautioned Arambai Tenggol, a radical Meitei organisation, over the treatment of Christians in Manipur.

In its statement, the NSCN-IM said that ever since the Meitei-Kuki-Zo ethnic conflict started in May last year, although the group has maintained neutrality, it has been cautiously following day to day developments.

The NSCN-IM alleged that those operating Arambai Tenggol hold strong convictions or extreme principles to bring about fundamental socio-political reforms.

Saying that violent extremism as allegedly followed by Arambai Tenggol is a threat to peace and tolerance, the NSCN-IM said it would “take the stand to guard the interest and safety of the Christians in Manipur, given the fact that Arambai Tengol bears strong animosity towards the Christians, both in spirit and actions”.
