Imphal, July 14 2010: The United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF) has clarified that it has nothing to do with the incident of abduction of a non-local businessman and that it was the KNA, wing no.VI .

In a press release, the Secretary, Information and Publicity of UKLF, JM Zou said, in fact, the place where the captive was rescued, i.e.Imphal East bordering Sadar Hills, is not the operational area of the UKLF but of the KNA wing no.VI .

Therefore, it is hereby clarified to one and all that UKLF is not at all involved in the said 'abduction case' of a petty businessman which has nothing to do with revolutionary movement, JM Zou said.

The UKLF strongly denounces the increasing rampant abductions and killings of innocent civilians in connection with monetary demands in the name of people's liberation movement by certain organised gangsters, which often prove the naked truth of the involvement of security personnel, who are supposed to control the disturbing law and order situation in the State, the press release stated.

In such a chaotic and complex situation, the UKLF in its desire for peaceful coexistence and equal share of development, had ceased its hostile activities against the State in the form of Suspension of Operations (SoO), he said.

Unfortunately, some elements and some of the Imphal-based media reportedly mentioned the UKLF in derailing developmental works, and in the abduction of a non-Manipuri cement trader, without any spot verification and authenticity just to malign the image of the Front, JM Zou lamented.

He further stated that the UKLF is of the firm belief in the principle that without economic prosperity of the 'starved land', the revolutionary process would not be able to march forward as desired.

So, all the working communities/class irrespective of native and outsiders, rich and poor, small and big traders should altruistically contribute and unite for the State to prosper and bloom, he said.
