Imphal, May 8: National People’s Party has strongly condemned the recent attacks on border villages in Manipur allegedly carried out by suspected cadres of the Kuki National Army (B) from across the Myanmar border.
In a press statement issued on May 8, the party said the attacks targeted the villages of Namlee, Wanglee, Ashang Khullen and Choro located along the Indo-Myanmar border in Kamjong district.
The party alleged that militants used drones during the attacks, describing it as a “dangerous escalation of violence” in the sensitive border region. According to the statement, 15 houses were burnt down in Choro village, while two houses were destroyed in Wanglee and one in Namlee, forcing several residents to flee to safer areas.
Describing the incidents as “barbaric acts against innocent civilians”, the NPP said such violence was unacceptable in a democratic society and strongly condemnable.
The party also expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation in vulnerable border areas and appealed to both the state and central governments to strengthen security measures, ensure the safety of villagers and prevent further infiltration and militant activities along the Indo-Myanmar border.
The NPP further condemned the continuing violence in Sinakeithel and urged all groups, including militants and volunteers, to refrain from violence and destruction.
The party maintained that all issues should be resolved through dialogue, peaceful negotiations and democratic means.
Calling for peace and unity among communities, the NPP urged authorities to take swift and decisive action to restore normalcy and safeguard innocent lives.
The statement was issued by Manikanta Laishram, convenor of the Media and IT Cell of NPP Manipur.
