IMPHAL, Apr 13 : KCP Politburo Standing Committee Chairman Ibungo Ngangom has greeted all the members of the party, sympathizers and the people of Kangleipak on the occasion of the outfit’s 46th raising day (April 14).
Ibungo Ngangom has mourned the inhuman killing of two innocent toddlers at Tronglaobi in the wee hours of April 7, 2026 and also the killing and injuring of protesting civilians by armed forces.
This inhuman act came when the brutal killing of three women and three children by Kuki and Zo narco-terrorist elements in November 2024 is still saddeningly fresh in public memory, he said.
A statement issued by Ibungo Ngangom remarked that killing of defenceless women and children has become a prominent hallmark of Kuki narco-terrorist elements, who have repeatedly demonstrated their utter disregard for human life and civilizational values.
There can be no justification, no explanation and no forgiveness for the killing of innocent children.
Extending deepest condolences to the bereaved families, the outfit said that no words can ease their pain, no justice can truly compensate for such a loss.
“Yet, their grief must not be allowed to fade into silence. It must awaken our conscience and also ask ourselves why we are letting such incidents happen again and again”, it said.
Sharing his thoughts and perspectives on several key issues, Ibungo Ngangom said that certain Kuki-Zo narco-terrorist groups have been closely associated with large-scale poppy cultivation, forest destruction and the production of opium and other derivative narcotics in the Kuki-dominated hill regions of Kangleipak.
The expansion of narcotics production has not only devastated the ecological balance, but has also contributed significantly to instability, criminal networks and drug-related crimes in Kangleipak.
At the same time, the struggle against narcotics cannot be selective or politically convenient. It would be futile to condemn narco-terrorist networks in one region while ignoring drug traffickers and dealers operating within one’s own communities.
Narcotics networks survive only when production, trafficking, distribution and political protection function together as a system, which is definitely the present reality in Kangleipak. Therefore, any genuine effort to confront this menace must address the entire chain, be it in the valley or the hills, he said.
Saying that there is a growing nexus between drug money and political power in Kangleipak, Ibungo Ngangom asserted that individuals who profit from the destruction of society cannot and will not serve the public interest when they enter the assembly of political power.
The KCP Politburo Standing Committee Chairman said that drug traffickers are not merely criminals, they are destroyers of societies.
“The future of Manipur cannot be entrusted to individuals whose fortunes are built upon the suffering of our youth”, read the Chairman’s statement.
At the same time, there are structural issues that must be addressed if long-term stability is to be achieved. Among these is the non-negotiable natural right of the Meitei community to settle in the hill areas of Kangleipak, he said.
He asserted that ensuring that once this fundamental natural right of the Meiteis is respected can also create opportunities for greater integration among indigenous communities, reducing geographical segregation and fostering deeper social interaction. Over time, such integration may contribute to lasting harmony and peaceful coexistence across the land of Kangleipak.
He said that another major challenge confronting the indigenous population of Kangleipak is the growing economic dominance of non-local interests.
Saying that humanity is entering an era defined by robotics, artificial intelligence, nano-technology and quantum computing, the Chairman warned that it would prove a fatal misconception for the liberation movement of Kangleipak to still fundamentally rely on the barrel of the gun to achieve “our common goal”.
“If we as a movement fail to incorporate nano-technology, AI, robotics, aero-technology and system manufacturing capabilities into our scheme of things to an appropriate degree and on an appropriate scale in the next 5 years, we as a movement are bound to become outdated and irrelevant, and ultimately perish in the next 10 years, let alone being able to shape the destiny of our Nation”, read the Chairman’s statement.
He also raised deep concern over the growing neglect of education in Kangleipak.
