In a disturbing act of violence, the chief ministers of both Meghalaya and Mizoram have condemned the recent killing of Baptist church leaders in Manipur. The attack, labeled as 'senseless,' occurred in the Kangpokpi district and left three church leaders dead and four others injured.

The incident has provoked strong reactions from leaders and opposition parties alike, with Mizoram's main opposition, the Mizo National Front, demanding stringent punishment for those responsible. The Christian-majority states in the Northeast are demanding urgent intervention by authorities to prevent further violence against vulnerable communities.

Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma and Mizoram Chief Minister Lalduhoma have expressed their deepest condolences to the bereaved families and highlighted the need for dialogue, reconciliation, and enhanced security measures as a means to restore peace in the region.
