Imphal, April 14 2024:
Aggrieved by the killing of two Kuki village volunteers and the lack of humanity in the treatment of their lifeless bodies, Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) said it is only apt for the government of India to deliberate on the use of its resources, funds, and arms and ammunition for terrorist activities within its own borders and correspondingly take appropriate redressal measures.
Terming as indescribable of the utter lack of humanity in the treatment of the lifeless bodies of two Kuki village volunteers in Phailengmol area of Kangpokpi district, a KIM statement said the deliberate recording and circulation of videos of atrocities on the lifeless bodies on social media demonstrate a total disregard for law and order and a mockery of the justice system of the country.
The gross violation of human rights, the outrageous disregard for human dignity, the ruthless ethnic-shaming are contraventions to the shared values and principles of the country and is a call for all concerned citizens to come together to end these atrocities, the KIM said adding that the organisation stands in solidarity with the people who mourn the loss of brave heroes.
Kuki Inpi Tengnoupal District (KIT), KSO-Sadar Hills, Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF) and Kuki Women Organisation for Human Rights also condemned the killing of two Kuki village volunteers.
In separate condemnation notes, the Kuki-Zo bodies denounced extensive firing of artillery upon the Kuki village volunteers of Phailengmol by the central forces and strongly alleged that the two innocent volunteers died at the hands of central security force.
