Imphal, December 27 2020:
The Kuki Inpi Manipur submitted a memorandum to Union Home Minister Amit Shah during his visit to Imphal demanding exclusion of Kuki inhabited areas in the final solution to the Naga peace talks.
The memorandum stated that the issue of Naga integration has caused fear in the minds of the Kukis residing in Chandel, Tengnoupal, Kangpokpi, Churachandpur, Pherzawl and some parts of Tamenglong, Ukhrul and Senapati districts.
Appealing the Union Home Minister to settle the "NSCN-IM's criminal acts of murdering more than 1000 innocent Kukis including children, uprooting of 360 villages and seizing their ancestral land and displacing of over 100,000 Kuki people", KIM said that any solution to the Naga issue without legal settlement of the Kuki issue will sow seeds of social and political upheaval in the region.
