The North American Manipur Tribal Association (NAMTA), reportedly linked to Canada-based Khalistani separatists, organized a congressional briefing in the US, alleging religious freedom violations in India. USCIRF Commissioner David Curry highlighted alleged atrocities against Kuki minority Christians in Manipur, connecting them to broader issues of religious freedom in India. Lien Gangte, NAMTA's Canada head, criticized the Indian government for failing its constitutional obligations. NAMTA's social media handles in the US, Canada, and India were reportedly blocked in India last year over alleged ties with Khalistanis.
