Kakching, October 04 2009: The convenor of the JAC against the threat to social leaders, Amang Haokip clarified that the rally on September 29 was neither instigated by the UKLF nor did any other armed groups.

It was never held against any particular underground group.Talking to media persons today, Amang Haokip averred that the agitations should be intensified if any organisation continues to threat social leaders while reacting to the statement of the KNO/KNA.

He appealed all concerned armed groups not to intervene on social issue.

Rejecting the claim of the KNO/KNA that the outfit was instrumental in liberating the Kuki people of Chandel district from the clutch of the NSCN (IM) in the Kuki-Naga clash, Amang Haokip said that neither theKNO/KNA nor the UKLF emancipated the people from the NSCN (IM).

He said it was the Kuki Defence Force (KDF) and the Southern Kuki Boys' Commando (SKBC) who gave protection and safeguarded the Kuki people of Chandel district in the ethnic clash.Denying the charge that any absentee of the rally would be imposed a fine, Amang said it was baseless allegation.

He however said that the JAC against the threatening of social leaders has announced a fine of Rs 100 and Rs 200 to ordinary persons and chiefs respectively in order to ensure the success of the rally.

But the matter has not been related to the UKLF.
