IMPHAL, Jan 11: Several Kuki bodies have endorsed Kuki-Zo Council's resolution against participation in formation of Government in Manipur.
The Kuki Inpi Ukhrul, Kuki Inpi JTN (Jiribam, Tamenglong and Noney), Kuki Chief Association (KCA) Tengnoupal, Hill Tribal Council (HTC) Moreh and Molnoi Area Welfare Council (MAWC) Tengnoupal district said they support the KZC's resolution that the Kuki-Zo people cannot and shall not participate in the formation of Government of Manipur.
"The Kuki Inpi Ukhrul fully endorses the unanimous resolution that the Kuki-Zo people cannot and shall not participate in the formation of the Government of Manipur under the present circumstances. Any political participation without accountability, restoration of normalcy and justice for the victims would amount to a betrayal of the collective suffering and aspirations of our people," said Kuki Inpi Ukhrul in a statement.
The Government of India should treat this resolution with seriousness and initiate meaningful and time-bound engagement to address the root cause of the crisis and uphold Constitutional values, it said.
It said the demand for a Separate Administration in the form of a Union Territory under the Constitution of India is a "legitimate" and Constitutional response to the prevailing political, social and security realities in Manipur.
While the KCA, HTC Moreh and MAWC Tengnoupal district in a separate statement said they also endorse the KZC resolution, the Kuki Inpi JTN said the UT demand is legitimate and necessary political solution to ensure justice, security, and dignity for the Kuki-Zo people.
The Kuki Inpi JTN said it fully endorses the KIM reaffirmation of the KZC resolution on the formation of Government.
Under the present political and security circumstances, no Kuki-Zo individual or representative should participate in, support, or legitimise the formation of the Government of Manipur, as such actions would contradict the unified stand of the Kuki-Zo people, said the Kuki Inpi JTN.
