Imphal, August 26 2023:
Following the Kuki Inpi Manipur's open demand of separate administration for Kuki-Zo people, the Aimol Tribe Union has parted ways with the KIM.
Speaking to media persons at Manipur Press Club here today, Aimol Tribe Union president RT Akhel Aimol said, "Even though I used to work together with KIM in the past for the integrity of Manipur, I have snapped all connection with KIM after they challenged the integrity of Manipur by demanding a separate administration.
"As leader of the indigenous Aimol tribe, I was working with different CSOs including those of Meiteis and Kukis for the integrity of Manipur", RT Akhel Aimol said.
He said that he used to take part in many functions and events held in celebration of the integrity of Manipur including the June 18 anniversary.
"As Kuki Inpi Manipur is now demanding a separate administration, I have taken a decision not to maintain any type of relationship with KIM", RT Akhel Kom said.
The Aimol Tribe Union president said that the Aimol tribe would not live under any other community.
Aimols would always live as Aimols, he added.
