The Meitei Leepun in a press release has raised the issue of unlawful entry of individuals, purportedly from the Kuki community, into Manipur, exploiting indigenous tribal protections outlined in the Indian Constitution and are reportedly enjoying benefits, infiltrating sectors like the bureaucracy, posing a severe threat to India’s national security.
The Press release further said, “The Meitei Leepun calls upon all indigenous people of Manipur to unite against this alleged threat. Reports highlight this illegal Kuki community’s involvement in the illicit occupation of reserved and protected forests, spreading misinformation, and distorting our shared history with the indigenous Nagas. Beyond local concerns, this situation has significant implications for national security.”
The organisation advocates for collective vigilance and unity among the community, urging law enforcement to thoroughly investigate these allegations and take necessary actions and Preserving Manipur’s cultural and historical fabric is paramount in the face of these challenges, the press release added.
