TIPRA Motha chief Pradyot Bikram Manikya Deb Barma met with leaders of the United Naga Council (UNC) in Manipur to discuss ways of building stronger ties among communities across the Northeast.
Speaking after the meeting, Deb Barma emphasised that cooperation between different ethnic groups is key to ensuring peace, stability, and progress in the region. “If we unite as a region, we will only ensure a better tomorrow for our upcoming generation,” he said, underscoring the importance of regional solidarity over narrow political divides.
The discussion focused on shared challenges — from socio-economic development to cultural preservation — and explored opportunities for collaboration that benefit all communities.
Deb Barma, known for his charismatic leadership style, has often been compared to other prominent Northeast leaders such as Meghalaya Chief Minister Conrad Sangma for his consistent advocacy of regional interests. His meeting with UNC leaders signals an intent to build bridges and strengthen cooperation in a region marked by its diversity and complex political landscape.
