Imphal, November 17 2025:
While appreciating the responsible action taken by the Kuki Inpi Sadar Hills (KISH) and the Sadar Hills Chiefs Association (SAHILCA) for accepting responsibility regarding the October 29-30, 2025 incident at Daili village during which posters were vandalized, communal slogans were shouted and a large firecracker was detonated, the Thadou Students' Association (TSA) has urged all not to misidentify Thadou as Kuki.
The TSA has applauded the signing of the MoU on November 15, 2025 between the NPO Senapati, KISH and SAHILCA for their commitment to restoring peace and harmony.
The TSA has appealed to KISH and S AHILCA to extend moral responsibility and protection to Thadou individuals within their jurisdiction, particularly those who are not Kuki subscribers and ensure that they are not harmed, threatened or misidentified by any Kuki groups or supporters.
Thadou is not Kuki and therefore the NPO Senapati should refrain from mistaking the Thadou community for Kuki, the TSA said in a press release and added that the Thadou community functions under its apex body, Thadou Inpi Manipur (TIM) .
Genuine Thadou will never engage in any form of violent activities or rhetoric and remains committed to promoting peace, respect and mutual understanding among all communities, the TSA asserted.
It further called upon all stakeholders to exercise restraint, avoid communal assumptions and continue working collectively towards
peaceful coexistence.
