Imphal, August 19 2023:
Strongly refuting the allegation levelled bv World Kuki-Zo Intellectual Council (WKZIC) that the outfit was involved in the dastardly attack at Thawai Kuki village on Friday, Manipur Naga Revolutionary Front (MNRF) has clarified that the outfit does not involve in the present communal conflict in any manner.
According to MNRF chief information secretry HS Shimray, it was highly unbecoming of an esteemed intellectual body like WKZIC to point fingers at the outfit for the involvement in the attack in which three Kuki villagers were killed.
Terming the allegation of WKZIC's as baseless and unfounded, Shimray said that MNRF is deeply pained by the unfolding ethnic crisis in Manipur.
He also said that the bond of relationship between the Meetei and Tangkhul cannot be all the time be pulled in for any kind of adventure.
At the same time, the old wounds of the Kuki-Naga conflict should not be festered in unnecessarily.
Rather, MNRF has been upholding both the communities for early reconciliation, he added.
