Imphal, June 08, 2013:
Kuki Students' Organisation, Sadar Hills (KSO-SH) has taken strong exception to the 'unfavourable' statements issued against KSO by Thadou Students' Association, General Headquarters (TSA-GHQ).
In a statement, Secretary of Information and Publicity of KSO-SH Gogou Vaiphei said that KSO-SH) felt really unfortunate that amidst the pandemonium persisting amongst the tribal student bodies, a tribe based student organization called Thadou Students Association General Headquarters (TSA-GHQ), which is unknown to the Kuki society prior to their joining with pseudo ATSUM on 23rd May 2013 has perpetually hauled unfavourable statements against KSO.
"We do know the existence of TSA Sadar Hills & TSA Chandel but not TSA General Headquarters that has recently emerged to confront KSO", Gogou added.
Apropos to the TSA's statement published in local dailies on 7th June, KSO would like to enlighten the TSA-GHQ in particular and the public in general that, ATSUM election is yet to be conducted and likely to be held very soon.
KSO doesn't acknowledge the present formation of pseudo ATSUM and Muan Tombing, who claims to be the president of ATSUM, is not known to KSO in contrary to their statement, "The KSO (GHQ) sent Muan Tombing to contest and represent the Kuki to ATSUM with full blessing".
It is illogical that, KSO would depute a representative to an organization that it doesn't acknowledge.
Moreover, KSO GHQ was formed consisting of several Kuki tribes and the present executives comprised of Mate tribe, Vaiphei tribe, Hmar tribe, Gangte tribe and of course Thadou tribe.
It is God's precious gift that languages of the Kuki-Chin tribes are mutually intelligible.
Besides that, they used the language which is comfortable to them according to time and place.
Therefore, using Thadou dialect at a time doesn't necessarily mean the speaker to be a Thadou tribe", Gogou asserted.
The KSO reckoned TSA's misdeeds as done out of na�ve and has nothing to consider seriously.
However, KSO is fully convinced that, some individuals orchestrate to crush the KSO's strength and integrity by using poor TSA-GHQ executives as a magnificent tool.
Therefore, the KSO warns those individuals involved in plotting to defrag the Kuki society to immediately halt before things get worse, Gogou added.
