Kanggui, March 11 2014 :
The Kuki Civil Society Organizations including Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills and its frontal organizations, Sadar Hills Women Union, KSO-Sadar Hills and area wise Kuki Chief Association within Sadar Hills have unanimously resolved in a general body meeting held today at Kanggui not to endorse and give any type of taxes or donation to any organization rather than the KNO/UPF.
The Kuki CSOs within Sadar Hills also resolved to ban collection of taxes or any type of donation in any Kuki inhabited areas within Sadar Hills by any other organization except those organizations under the umbrella of KNO and UPF.
The civil bodies clarified that there is no such organization in the name of Kuki Tribal Union under the umbrella of KNO and UPF.
The meeting of the Kuki CSOs also reaffirmed that the Kukis in Manipur would follow and abide by the "Joint Declaration" framed by KNO and UPF.
The Joint Declaration stated that KNO/UPF welcomes any individual or organization who comes in the mainstream of KNO/UPF but will always be against and never accept those individual or organization based or affiliated in any other organization other than KNO/UPF.
The Joint Declaration further said that such organizations or individual will not be entitled to collect any types of taxes or donation in any Kuki inhabited areas.
The Kuki CSOs further pointed out that the Government of the People's Republic of Nagalim Official Authorization Ref.No.08 dated 20/02/14; President (Yaruiwo) GPRN Orders, Oking 3/5/2012 signed by Isak Chishi Swu; GPRN Chief Principal Secretary dated Oking, 10 June 2010 (Official Correspondence) signed by Samson Jajo and GPRN Ministry of Chaplee Affairs dated Oking, the 16th June 2010 (Authorization Order) signed by Q.Awomi, Secretary, Chaplee Affairs and orders issued by K.Joseph, the Dy.Secy.
Chaplee Affairs reflect a design to sow seeds of discords among the Kuki and Naga by using Kuki Tribal Union(KTU) for collection of taxes to Kuki villages.
