Imphal, February 13: The Kuki Inpi, Manipur, KIM, has expressed strong concern over the Senapati declaration signed by Naga candidates pledging to support the 'Naga cause' at the behest of the United Naga Council, UNC.

The KIM president, P Gangte, in a statement issued here, said the UNC is gathering dark clouds of tension by forging the 'forced-signed' declaration warning that it will have far reaching consequences to destabilize the already disturbed social harmony of the pluralistic society of Manipur.

Such an attempt to create a captive group of legislators and dictate terms with no free political conscience is not only undemocratic but also unchristian, the statement said.

It said that the UNC's 'selfish and ego-centric' policy focusing only on the 'Naga cause' cannot be merged in the kaleidoscopic pluralistic society.

Stating that in a pluralistic society, give and take policy is not only democratic but also in tune with all religious beliefs, the statement said if the UNC desires peace, it can capitalize on the already available good offices of other people and organizations.
