Responding to a query on the demand for separate administration by the Kuki Zo tribes in Manipur, Lalduhoma said, “All of them are Indian citizens. They are our brothers and sisters and we will take care of them. I spoke to Union Home Minister Amit Shah yesterday regarding the issue. We will soon sit and discuss the matter face to face.”
