Kuki bodies condemn attack to CM and his team at Ukhrul ‘Gaidon Kamei’s statement sounds as declaration of war against the State’

Imphal, Oct 27: Terming the attack to Chief Minister and his Ministerial team at Ukhrul on last Sunday as an attack to the whole of the state Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) and Kuki Organisation for Human Rights Trust (KOHRT) today sought explanations from president of the UNC, Gaidon Kamei to spell out who are the hill people against the Chief Minister and his ministerial team.
In a joint statement issued by Pu Thangkhosai, President KIM and Pu T. Lunkim, Chairman KOHRT, the two Kuki bodies stated that UNC president Gaidon Kamei should tender public apology if the hill people at which he stated to a news agency saying that hill people area against the Chief Minister O. Ibobi and his Council of Minister, included the ‘Kukis’ which is the second largest population in hill area of Manipur.
The two body expressed surprised when Gaidon Kamei, President UNC called on all the Naga units of the United Naga Council (UNC) have been directed to remain alert so as to thwart any backlash from the Government of Manipur following the barring of Chief Minister O. Ibobi Singh from inaugurating projects in Ukhrul district on October 24 as according to an article published by Sangai Express daily on 26 October 2016, under the heading “UNC Alerts all constituent units,”
The statement sounds as a declaration of war against the State, the Kuki bodies stated.  
 In the same article, UNC President Gaidon Kamei informed Newmai News Network that the position of the hill people against Chief Minister O. Ibobi Singh, his Council of Ministers and those ‘Legislators endorsing Ibobi’s doctrine’ still stands. This statement is a serious one and the UNC needs immediate explanation of who are thehill people, supporting UNC against the Chief Minister, the statement added.
“ In case his statement includes the second largest population, “Kukis,” he must make public apology with immediate effect. Mr. Gaidon Kamei must be aware of the stance of his neighbour Kuki Inpi, which patiently anticipate UNC’s realization of how great sacrifice Kuki Inpi made for all communities of the North East India including Manipur, by means of that sacrifice we all are now enjoying freedom of indigenous land ownership”, the statement mention.
On the other hand the two Kuki bodies also appealed Gaidon Kamei and UNC to try to live peacefully with all their brothers namely Kukis, Nagas and Meiteis traditionally confirmed by all our forebears namely Kukis, Nagas and Meiteis as brothers, and jotted down by a foreign writer T.C. Hodson while the Britishers were with us, co-ruling with the indigenous people of Manipur and adjoining regions by their traditions customarily accepted laws.
“Hatred will ultimately snatch away indigenous land ownership by selling it away through making negotiations after negotiations with people who have never lived in our ancestral land, nor have ever done anything to save our land. Care must be taken for all, less careless and with unauthorized so-called peace talks may be used as a means to take away ancestral land ownership for someone who have never contributed anything to save the land, but trying to cause endangering International peace and security which the UN hotly hates it to happen anywhere in the present world”, the statement added
