Imphal, August 07 2025:
Reacting sharply to the WKZIC and the ultimatum served by the Working Committee of Kuki CSOs to lift the travel restriction being imposed on Kuki community, the Foothills Naga Coordination Committee (FNCC) has categorically stated that neither the so-called WKZIC nor the Working Committee of Kuki CSOs has any right to talk Article 21 of the Indian Constitution or the Essential Commodities Maintenance Act, 1955, after having brazenly held the entire State of Manipur to ransom for over 27 months by blockading National Highways, disrupting essential supplies and pushing millions to the edge.
It is imperative to underscore that the ongoing bandh in the foothills region of Naga inhabited areas is not aimed at the Zomi or Hmar-Lushai (Mlzo) communities, with whom the Naga people have shared generations of mutual respect, and peaceful coexistence, said a press release issued by the FNCC .

"Our history together speaks of cooperation, not conflict, and that legacy remains intact" it said.
However, this bandh is a direct and unequivocal response to the aggressive, unchecked and calculated actions of Kuki expansionist forces, particularly those operating under the banner of the so-called WKZIC and Working Committee of Kuki CSOs.
These groups have chosen the path of provocation, territorial encroachment, and political manipulation, endangering the fragile peace of the region.
"Your actions were nothing short of economic terrorism, and you have absolutely no moral or legal ground to now preach about human rights or civil liberties.
Do not feign victimhood while being the perpetrator of regional instability", the FNCC asserted.
If the Working Committee of Kuki CSOs blocks NH-2 or engages in any attempt to disrupt the movement of goods and people, every avenue of Naga-inhabited areas will be sealed off to Kuki movement without exception.
This includes NH-2, NH-37, and will extend to Peren district of Nagaland and the NC Hills of Assam as well, it warned.
"Let it be known, the Working Committee of Kuki CSOs alone will be held solely responsible for any fallout that arises from their provocations", it added.
