The United Naga Council (UNC), representing Naga communities in Manipur, has submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging him to broaden his focus on illegal immigration issues beyond Assam. The council appreciates Modi's vocal stance during his visits to Assam but expresses concern over the lack of attention to similar issues in Manipur. The UNC warns that the influx of illegal immigrants poses a significant threat to the demographic balance and the rights of indigenous communities in the region. They emphasize that this issue has far-reaching social and economic implications, particularly during the Census and delimitation processes, which could affect the representation of indigenous peoples. The UNC calls for the immediate identification and deportation of illegal immigrants and suggests the establishment of a Population Commission and updating the National Register of Citizens as potential mechanisms to address these concerns. They hope that the Prime Minister will consider the situation in Manipur during his upcoming visit to Assam on April 6, 2026.
