Imphal, October 02 2015 : The Thadou Inpi (formerly known as Thadou Tribe Council) Ghqs has refuted the report that the Kuki Inpi Manipur has been assigned to take up the case of the three Bills on behalf of all the tribals who have been opposing the Bills.

According to a press release issued by Thadou Inpi secretary general Thangtinlen Haokip, the report that a joint meeting of Zomi Council, Hmar Inpui, Mizo Peoples' Convention, Kuki Inpi, Churachandpur, Vaiphei People Council, United Zou Organisation, Simte Tribe Council, Paite Tribe Council, Tidim Chin Union, Thangkhal Tribe Union, Komrem Union, Thadou Tribe Council, Gangte Tribe Council, Mate Tribe Council and Joint Action Committee was held on the October 1, 2015 at KIC Office, Tuibuang under the aegis of Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) was a false propaganda.

No tribe council has entrusted or assigned KIM to have a dialogue with the Govt of Manipur, it alleged.

The Thadou Inpi in its Thadou Conclave, Delhi 2015 Declaration No.6 states that "Thadou Inpi will not endorse Kuki Inpi and its affiliated organizations as long as Kuki Inpi is not restructured with the participation of all the tribes under Kuki fold, but it will work together with other sister tribes" .

Its explanation/justification is �"Kuki is a nomenclature and conglomerate of many tribes but there are more than enough evidence that Kuki Inpi and its affiliated organizations are ignoring this fact and openly propagating the unitary concept of "Any Kuki Tribes" which is detrimental to the unity of Kuki Nation and Thadou Inpi doesn't share such a vicious ideology.

The declaration is made to highlight that Thadou Inpi will always espouse the cause of Kuki as a nomenclature along with other sister tribes with equal footing only.

"Therefore, any such misuse of the Thadou Inpi without our knowledge will not be tolerated in the near future and such appalling, unfounded and senseless statement by KIM is highly condemned and should not be repeated", it added.
