Thousands Rally in Imphal Demanding Manipur CM Resignation and SoO Pact Abrogation
Thousands from Meitei, Naga, and other communities rallied in Imphal demanding the resignation of Manipur's Chief Minister and Deputy Chief Minister, abrogation of the Suspension of Operations (SoO) pact with Kuki militant groups, and safe resettlement of internally displaced persons. The rally, endorsed by the United Naga Council and organized by COCOMI, highlighted ongoing ethnic violence since May 2023, with accusations against SoO cadres for involvement in conflicts. Security measures included barricades near government offices, and parallel protests occurred in hill districts calling for neutral forces and protection of ancestral lands.
