Imphal, December 13 2023:
The Meitei Leepun has called for a collective effort to address the problem of unlawful migration, purportedly from the Kuki community to Manipur.
In a statement, the cultural organisation claimed that these illegal migrants pose a severe threat to the National security as they infiltrate important sectors and exploit the rights given by the Constitution to protect the indigenous population.
Claiming that there are many reports which highlight the involvement of illegal Kukis in occupying reserved and protected forests and in spreading misinformation and distorting history, the Meitei Leepun appealed to all indigenous people to unite against all these alleged threats.
Advocating collective vigilance, the Meitei Leepun urged the law enforcement agency to look into the problems and do the needful at the earliest.
