The brutal killing of Baptist church leaders in Manipur has been condemned by Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma, who labeled it a 'senseless act of violence.' The attack occurred in the Kangpokpi district, targeting respected members of the Kuki Baptist community.

Mizoram's main opposition party, the Mizo National Front (MNF), echoed these sentiments, demanding strict punishment for those responsible. The parties called for urgent intervention and stronger security measures in conflict-prone areas.

The attack highlights ongoing tensions in the Northeastern region, with leaders urging dialogue and peace efforts to prevent further violence. The MNF emphasized the tragedy's impact on regional stability and ethnic relations.
