Liklam Ngakpa has reiterated its demands for intervention in the ongoing crisis in Manipur, submitting fresh memorandums to top central leaders following what it described as an inadequate response to its earlier appeal.
The organisation had earlier submitted a charter of four demands to the Government of India on January 8, 2026, seeking measures to ensure civilian safety, reopen National Highways, facilitate the safe return of displaced persons, and expedite railway projects in the state.
In response, the Office of the Union Home Minister, through its North East Division, stated that “public order” falls under the State List of the Constitution, making it primarily the responsibility of the state government. It, however, added that the Centre continues to extend necessary assistance as required.
Following this, Liklam Ngakpa stated that the response indicates that resolution of the crisis largely depends on the political will of the state government.
Condemning the killing of a minor in the Tronglaobi incident, the organisation, led by its president Haobijam Jiten, submitted separate memorandums to President of India, Droupadi Murmu, Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and defence Minister Rajnath Singh.
According to the organisation, the memorandums outlined a series of demands while also raising concerns over alleged excessive use of force by central and state security personnel during protest control.
Among the key demands placed before the Centre are the initiation of an impartial and transparent investigation into the reported rocket attack and subsequent crowd control actions, and the ordering of a judicial inquiry under the Commissions of Inquiry Act into the alleged role of security personnel, including CRPF forces.
The organisation also called for immediate and effective steps to prevent further violence against civilians, ensure accountability for all parties involved in unlawful acts—whether militant groups or state actors—and review standard operating procedures to prioritise non-lethal methods in civilian areas.
Further, it demanded that security forces operate strictly within the framework of law, with a focus on protecting lives and property and rebuilding public trust.
Liklam Ngakpa urged the Centre to take urgent and concrete measures to address the situation and respond to the concerns raised in the memorandums.
