Kanggui, July 07 2013:
The Kanggui Town Committee Chairman, Chonkam Kipgen and its vice chairman J Guite today made a clarification on KSDC general strike and economic blockade along NH-2 within Sadar Hills which was published yesterday in some daily newspapers under the headlines "Sadar Hills to endorse KSDC general strike and economic blockade" .
Chonkam clarified that, there is no such committee by the name KSDC Sadar Hills nor election to the committee conducted while adding that yesterday's briefing was done by K Khongsai, spokesperson KSDC and Haopu Gangte, General Secretary KSDC.
He further clarified, "I am not the convenor as reported in the news item as well as J Guite is not the general secretary but the vice chairman of Kanggui Town Committee.
Hence we do not have any portfolio in KSDC" .
Chonkam also made his stand clear that, until and unless the two umbrella bodies of Kuki UG groups namely Kuki National Organization and United People's Front are not in one common platform, the general public particularly the Kukis within Sadar Hills cannot fully support or endorse any agitations sponsored by Kuki State Demand Committee.
