Manipur: Kuki-Zo Council opposes NRC before Census, calls demand 'premature'

The Kuki-Zo Council opposed demands for an NRC before the Census in Manipur on Sunday. The body called the demand premature and unjustified. "There is no provision for any community or state government to unilaterally initiate or conduct a separate NRC," the council said. They want an impartial Census instead.
