Six Naga Men brutally Killed allegedly by Kukis :::: Bodies found 'Mutilated' beyond recognition :::: UNC calls a 24-hour total shutdown across Naga areas from June 11 - 6 am

Six Naga Men brutally Killed, Bodies Reportedly Found Mutilated Beyond Recognition  

Following the release of the 14 Kuki hostages on Tuesday, an intensive search operation was conducted by a team of around 450 personnel. 

After nearly 24 hours, Manipur Police reported having found the mortal remains of the six abducted Naga men on Wednesday afternoon.

The search team comprised members of the Manipur Police, CRPF, and Assam Rifles, assisted by sniffer dogs and forensic expert teams. 

Manipur Police took to X stating, “The deceased are believed to be among those taken hostage from Leilon vaiphei on 13 May, 2026.” 

Sources said the mortal remains were found in a severely mutilated condition. Witnesses also alleged that the victims had been tortured before being dismembered and stated that the remains were so extensively mutilated that they were largely unrecognizable.  

On May 13, 2026, following a reception ceremony at Konsakhul Naga village, a group of residents departed from the village at approximately 10:30 a.m. 

To return to their village, they had to pass through Leilon Vaiphei Kuki village, where they were reportedly stopped at a bamboo gate freshly erected across the road by local people belonging to the Kuki community.  

In total, 18 individuals were detained, including men, women, and a child. After a series of negotiations, the women and the child were later released. 

On May 15, 2026, 14 Naga and Kuki hostages were also reportedly released and exchanged in Kangpokpi district. 

However, the six Naga men identified as Mr. Kenpibou (Pastor), Mr. Phenrongwi Thiumai, Rev. Dr. Manu Thiumai (Pastor), Mr. Dilip Thiumai, Mr. Kaliwangbou Abonmai, and Mr. Ch. Phenrilung who were allegedly abducted during the incident remained untraced until today, June 10, 2026.  

According to The United Naga Council, the release of the 14 detained Kuki individuals on Tuesday was based on appeals made by the Baptist world community, Naga churches, tribes, and organizations. It also emphasized that the Nagas are a people with an age-old culture passed down through generations.

In its statement, the UNC also mentioned the appeal made by the Government of Manipur for the safe release of the detained individuals, along with an assurance to intensify the ongoing combing operations to establish the status of the missing hostages and secure their release at the earliest. 

It also stated that the Manipur government had assured that it would track down and arrest all perpetrators and strictly enforce the Suspension of Operations ground rules, including the rationalization and relocation of camps.

All 14 Kuki Detainees released on June 9th in Senapati 

after 27 Days – "We Were Well Treated" -- reported 'Ukhrul Times'. 

Released Kukis 

Fourteen Kuki individuals who had allegedly been held since May 13, 2026, were released on humanitarian grounds and handed over at Senapati district headquarters on Tuesday (June9) at around 3:36 p.m.  

Those released were identified as Thangtinlen Chongloi, Paotinkai Chongloi, Lunsei Chongloi, Kaimang Chongloi, Hengunsei Chongloi, Luntinlal Chongloi, Tonggoulen Chongloi, Sehginlun Chongloi, Sehminhao Chongloi, Paogoulhang Chongloi, Haominlun Kipgen, Lamgoulen Kipgen, Thanglemang Chongloi and Thangminlen Chongloi.

The handover was conducted in the presence of Senapati Police, personnel from the Central Armed Police Forces (CAPF), Assam Rifles, and officials of the district administration.  

UNC Calls 24-Hour Shutdown Across Naga Areas, Demands Justice and Immediate Action  

In a strongly worded statement issued on June 10, the United Naga Council (UNC) condemned the killings and described the condition of the recovered bodies as a gross violation of human dignity and human rights. 

The organisation expressed solidarity with the bereaved families and said the incident had caused immense pain and anguish among the Naga people.  

The UNC has further announced a 24-hour total shutdown across Naga areas from 6:00 AM on June 11 to 6:00 AM on June 12, stating that the protest was intended to demand justice for the victims and their families. The UNC appealed to the public to observe the shutdown peacefully.

Moditva Magic ::: West Bengal verdict 2026 :::: Union Ministers give a standing ovation as Modi breaks 'Nehru's record' :::: "A king with a humble soul indeed attains the highest glory", says PM

Having first assumed office on May 26, 2014, Narendra Modi completed 4,399 consecutive days on June 10, 2026 as Prime Minister, overtaking the record of India's first Prime Minister, Jawaharlal Nehru.

The first PM had served 4,398 uninterrupted days as the head of an elected government after the first general elections in 1952.  

"Public service is the greatest measure of good governance. It is only the individual who works tirelessly with humility, dedication, and a sense of duty who earns the trust of the people," the Prime Minister wrote.

Invoking a Sanskrit verse on leadership, Modi stressed that rulers must remain committed to the welfare of citizens and govern with humility.

To mark the occasion, he reflected on the values of public service, humility and duty that he said form the foundation of good governance.  

"One who is devoted by nature, every intent on the welfare of his subjects. 

A king with a humble soul indeed attains the highest glory," he said.

In his congratulatory message, Union Home Minister Amit Shah said the 12 years of PM Modi's governance "have been about restoring India's pride, cultural renaissance, and freeing the nation from the mentality of servitude."

The emergence of a BJP government in Kolkata is extremely significant for the people of Assam and other northeastern states. But it also important from national security perspective vis-a-vis border management with Bangladesh. 

Modi inaugurating Namo Hospital in Daman 

The state of West Bengal is far more than just another Indian state. It functions as the living cultural, linguistic, and demographic mirror to Bangladesh. But it is also true the entry of illegal Bangladeshis has been a major issue of concern and now everyone will expect our government to deliver on this. 

It is always relevant to talk about issues such as unemployment and women safety. 

These two factors have cost Trinamool Congress the most. The Mamata Banerjee also faced the charges of corruption. People were fed up of corruption and also the culture of cut money and syndicate raj. 

Several reasons are being attributed for her defeat. But let me focus on one key element.  Over the years Smt Mamata Banerjee had earned the image of being a pro-Muslim leader.  We cannot dispute that. But the West Bengal mandate has taught something very serious. 

One can win election by the image of being pro-Muslim. There is technically no harm in that. But it is diffcult to do well electorally - when your image is anti-Hindu. 

Mamata Banerjee and her party have failed to realise that without their conscious knowledge perhaps; the TMC has crossed the bar. Trying to emerge as a pro-Muslim party; it did not realise it had become anti-Hindu. 

At the national level and also in Assam, the same thing had stuck the Congress party. In Assam, the Congress has come down to 19 members today. But the bigger message is - it has 18 Muslim legislators. In TMC's case also, it has 40 Muslim legislators. 

The fact of the matter is by default, the Hindu voters and pro-nationalist voters have come closer to the BJP. 

The election outcome in West Bengal and Assam are being closely watched in Bangladesh as well. 

And this is understandable because related subjects such as migration trade routes and shared rivers do figure when it comes to the ties of Assam and West Bengal with that country.

Now, the Lotus is blooming from Gangotri to Ganga Sagar.

West Bengal will plunge into a development journey and this will push other states in the north east region.  The BJP is already controlling 78 per cent of India. What an achievement!

The Viksit Bharat by 2047 now looks a reachable target. 

But despite all that 'good' happening around, there are people who vote against Namo and the BJP. In 2024, the BJP got shocking defeat in Faizabad - where stands the grand Ram temple at Ayodhya. 

Among those in Ayodhya who voted against the BJP in 2024 was Azaan Ahmad, who runs a clothing business. 

He claimed he was “fed up with the dictatorial attitude of the Modi government”.

"New India is the world’s largest, loudest, most competitive democracy ...." :::: And 12 years on, we have more than a glimpse of the “Naya Bharat" And five years on, we have more than a glimpse of the “New India” Namo has spawned. e has spawned"

 "4399 days and many many more to come. 
But this milestone is not merely about the number of days in office. It is about the scale of the mandate.

"New India is the world’s largest, loudest, most competitive democracy - with nearly a billion voters, hundreds of political parties, 24x7 media scrutiny, social media warfare, judicial activism, coalition pressures, global headwinds and relentless opposition. To remain electorally relevant through all that is not just longevity. It is repeat legitimacy at civilisational scale" 

-- tweets Mahesh Jethmalani   

Analysts offer different views too.

It is argued that the virtual "deification of Modi" is the consequence of a crude awakening of many Hindus to their past.

This could be a "haphazard response" to the traumas bequeathed by history, especially the partition of India in 1947. This accommodated the "demands" of Muslim nationalism. 

It was greatly pushed by the colonial masters as they wanted to keep India and the Hindus 'weak' and demoralised. 

“Why must Hindus bear the burden of secularism?” a voter said furiously in Varanasi in 2019.

 

It is argued that Christians and Muslims and also Jains and Sikhs are 'originally Hindus' who converted -- the first two being “foreign religions". 

No less than RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat has asserted this, claiming that all Indians are ideologically Hindu. “All those who are in Bharat [India] today are related to Hindu culture, Hindu ancestors and Hindu land… 

Some people have understood this, while some are not implementing it even after understanding it because of their habits and selfishness. Also, some people have either not understood yet or forgotten it,” he said at an event in 2023 in Nagpur.

BJP national vice-president M Chuba Ao, an indigenous Naga Christian leader, agrees. "Christianity has never asked Christians in India not to be patriotic or not to love their own country," he said.

Decrying 'secularism (or Sickularism)' as a suicidal attitude that comes naturally to Hindus, another voter in Bangalore said that “secularism” would result in Hindus being “outbred and ruled over” by Muslims.  

From Gujarat to Delhi, from Chief Minister to Prime Minister, PM Modi’s journey has been one uninterrupted public mandate built on governance, nationalism, welfare delivery, infrastructure, cultural confidence and India’s rise on the world stage.

His critics kept waiting for fatigue.  India kept renewing its trust. That is the real record. Not that he has served long.

But that he has served long in an era where democracy is larger, noisier, harder, faster and far more unforgiving than ever before.  This is not just a political milestone.

"It is the story of a leader who changed not just the grammar of Indian politics, he has changed the tone, punctuation and full stops of India’s engagement with the world," noted Mahesh Jethmalani. 

India no longer speaks as a hesitant post-colonial state seeking approval. 

It speaks as a civilisational power, a strategic market, a security partner, a technology force and a nation whose consent matters in every serious global conversation. 

The refrain from 'Hindu voters', with very few exceptions, has been identical, almost: No one can be cent per cent perfect.

Modi might have failed on some sectors; but he has achieved certain milestones.

One thing more; they would say -- he has at least put Muslims in their place. 

Writing about Algerian independence, Raymond Aron called it a “denial of the experience of our century to suppose that men will sacrifice their passions to their interests”. 

Modi has perhaps meticulously incited people's passions.

People may try to run this phenomenon down; but others see 'merits' in it.

India is not facing any tragic predicament or an emotional tug of war.

There are challenges. But the Opposition parties face existential crisis. There is no pan-Indian alternative to the BJP or Narendra Modi today.

Mamata Banerjee's 30B, Harish Chatterjee Street address was a 'powerful' destination ::: Massive mandate and now CID says "Knock KnocK"

CID searches what till recently was West Bengal's most powerful address

Sleuths who would click heels and raise arms in salute till a few days ago swarmed Mamata’s 30B, Harish Chatterjee Street address for a 'search operation'

CID team at 30B, Harish Chatterjee Street, the premises of the Trinamool central office (white building behind the blue roof) that was searched and Mamata’s home on the opposite side - snap (The Telegraph)

Former Trinamool Rajya Sabha member Subhasish Chakraborty was the first to dissuade the CID from entering the premises. 

“Our leader Mamata Banerjee is on a scheduled Delhi visit. It is known to all. She has nothing to do with this case. Then why do you need to search her house?” Chakraborty said.

The officers replied that the meeting whose resolution had allegedly forged signatures of party MLAs was held at this address, and they were “bound to” bring this address within their investigation.

The Law is taking its own course.

The voted-out CM Mamata Banerjee was in Delhi.

Many Trinamool leaders protested the police action. But that did not deter the state CID (criminal investigation department) from entering the premises, which serves as Mamata’s residence as well as the Trinamool Congress’s central office.  

The CID officers spent a considerable time at the gate, being requested by partymen holding fort to do their job in the presence of Mamata or Abhishek Banerjee.

But they would have none of it. They went in.

They stayed inside for less than an hour and emerged with a “nil” seizure list.

The CID did not just knock at Mamata’s door on Tuesday afternoon. They were also at Abhishek’s Camac Street office. The role of the party’s No. II is being probed in connection with an alleged signature fraud.

Abhishek skipped the third CID summons on Tuesday.

The CID is investigating allegations that the signatures of several Trinamool MLAs were forged on a party resolution nominating Ballygunge MLA Sobhandeb Chattopadhyay as the state’s leader of the Opposition.

Expelled Trinamool MLA Ritabrata Banerjee, now the leader of the rebel group, had filed a complaint at Hare Street police station alleging the forgery of signatures, following which an FIR was drawn up. The CID then took over the investigation.

Over the past few days, CID teams have visited several Trinamool MLAs to verify their signatures against those on the document under scrutiny.

Ritabrata and fellow MLA Sandipan Saha were expelled from the party for reporting the alleged forgery.

Ritabrata and fellow MLA Sandipan Saha are now part of a group that has pledged to “help” the Suvendu Adhikari government “usher in development” in Bengal. They have collated the support of 58 of the party’s 80 MLAs and staked a claim to be formally declared the main Opposition party in the Bengal Assembly. 

The plea has been accepted by Speaker Rathindra Bose, a decision that has been challenged by Mamata and Sobhandeb in the high court.

Senior Trinamool leaders who continue to support Mamata rushed to Kalighat and alleged that the CID search was a ploy to malign the former chief minister, who is “nowhere attached to the alleged handwriting forgery” now being probed by the agency.  

On the CID team at the residence of Former CM Mamata Banerjee, West Bengal Minister Agnimitra Paul says, 

"It only shows that nobody is above the Constitution, and nobody is above the law of the land. Mamata Banerjee, as an ex-Chief Minister, tolerated criminals, corruption, and whatnot for the last fifteen years. She never cared for the Constitution. She acted as if West Bengal were another country and she were the Prime Minister of that country. 

So today, CID is acting, and everyone involved will be brought to book, and the public will be given justice...The people of Bengal were cheated because of her. The way she spoke against the country, demeaned the central forces, the Prime Minister, and even the Honourable President, she should be booked, she should be arrested"

On 20 TMC MPs writing a letter to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla, she says, "...No MP or MLA is with Mamata Banerjee, because TMC has no ideology, no foundation. Fifteen years were only about corruption, syndicates, and whatnot... 

They don’t want to be part of a party that did nothing for development, that supported corruption, and ignored atrocities against women. They don’t want to be associated with such a party."

Nehru's unique record surpassed ::::: Modi inherited leadership of BJP as its prime ministerial face in 2013 and changed the format of Saffron outfit's politics

Namo's yet another Feather in the Cap.

Narendra Modi will have served 4,399 days as Prime Minister on Wednesday, June 10th 2026 becoming the longest continuously serving elected premier.

He inherited the leadership of the BJP as its prime ministerial face at a much challenging times. He changed the format of Saffron outfit's politics. The BJP became the national political hegemon, expand to newer regions, and attract support from myriad communities and parties.   

Modi will have served 4,399 days as Prime Minister on Wednesday, becoming the longest continuously serving elected premier. India’s first Prime Minister 

Jawaharlal Nehru first assumed office in 1947, won the first election in India in 1951-52 and remained in office until his death in 1964. Indira Gandhi, India’s first woman PM, was in office for a little less than 16 years, but in two separate stints.

Over the course of the past 12 years, the Modi government has managed to eradicate the once dreaded left-wing terrorism, revolutionise welfare delivery, build the JAM trinity and UPI, boosted rail, road and airport infrastructure, reshaped India’s defence and nuclear doctrine.

The regime "avenged" Pakistani terrorism, especially the Pahalgam terror attack, with Operation Sindoor in May 2025. Prior to that he struck twice - surgical strikes in 2016 and 2019.  

"Yeh Naya Hindustan hae .. Ghar mein ghusey ga bhi, marega bhi"

The political journey of course has challenges and even setbacks at times. In 2024, a large section of voters in Uttar Pradesh actually rebuked him and his party. The BJP's Lok Sabha tally came down from 303 to 240. The detractors had their time as well.  

London's 'The Guardian' wrote -- "Strikingly, there are some signs that the Hindu chauvinism Mr Modi rode to power may be reaching its limits. 

The BJP was defeated in Faizabad, where the prime minister inaugurated a grand temple on the site in Ayodhya where a Hindu mob once demolished a 16th-century mosque".

It further said -  "Reporters who visited the area and other parts of Uttar Pradesh ahead of election day found poorer voters complaining that Mr Modi’s focus on such issues was doing nothing to address basic needs." 

Despite his expansion of welfare programmes, many feel left behind. The headline GDP figure and new highways may impress, and billionaires like Gautam Adani and Mukesh Ambani have prospered, but wealth has not trickled down. 

It is also true Modi himself, the BJP and its parent organization, the RSS, have been keen on reviving political Hinduism.

All these got a real fillip -- first when Modi became the prime minister in 2014. He was never shy of Hindutva. In 2019 November, came the historic judgement -- giving the dispute site to Hindus for a grand temple at Ayodhya.

The foundation of a 'new assertive Bharat or Hindustan' was strengthened under Modi’s leadership.

The PM was clear. His Mission has been to re-establish India’s rightful place in the world with its thousands of years of civilizational history.

Well, Modi wanted to achieve all that not just as a nation that emerged after the British left seven decades ago.

In the new scheme of things, Hindi is preferred to English, the Indian laws are reworked giving them Hindi titles.

And the Hindu religion and culture get the upper hand on the socio-political platform.

Narendra Modi and his party have been in power since 2014. For the past 12 years, Nehru’s policies of left-liberalism has been challenged.

In 2024, Jan 22 marked a new chapter.

It marked the establishment of political Hinduism.

Electorally, the ruling BJP reaped benefits in various polls even as in 2024 parliamentary polls, the number of MPs in Lok Sabha had dropped.

In circa 2026, BJP controls 21 out of 28 states. The opposition Congress lost its voter base especially Hindus.

In Assam, Congress has 19 MLAs - 18 of them being Muslims. In West Bengal both legislators too are Muslims. 

Is Congress paying a price because of its (especially Rahul Gandhi's decision) to keep away from the temple consecration in Ayodhya ?
