'No tribe council entrusted KIM to have a dialogue with Govt. of Manipur'

02 October 2015 :

CLARIFICATION

The Thadou Inpi (formerly known as Thadou Tribe Council), General Headquarters (TI-GHQ) clarifies that the proceeding letter signed by Mr. Khaimang Chongloi (Gen. Secy., Kuki Inpi Manipur) dated 01/10/2015 had been widely found in media houses wherein it was claimed that a joint meeting of Zomi Council, Hmar Inpui, Mizo Peoples Convention, Kuki Inpi Churachandpur, Vaiphei People Council, United Zou Organisation, Simte Tribe Council, Paite Tribe Council, Tidim Chin Union, Thangkhal Tribe Union, Komrem Union, Thadou Tribe Council, Gangte Tribe Council, Mate Tribe Council and Joint Action Committee was held on the 1st October, 2015 at KIC Office, Tuibuang convened by Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) was a false propaganda and is a baseless vested individuals’ interest. It was just an intention to malign the unity of tribals of Manipur.

So far, there is no such assignment given to the Kuki Inpi Manipur for and on behalf of all the tribals to fight against the recently passed three bills by the Govt. of Manipur which was totally against the wishes and interests of tribals. No tribe council has entrusted or assigned KIM to have a dialogue with the Govt. of Manipur.

The Thadou Inpi in its Thadou Conclave, Delhi – 2015 Declaration No. 6 states that “Thadou Inpi will not endorse Kuki Inpi and its affiliated organizations as long as Kuki Inpi is not restructured with the participation of all the tribes under Kuki fold, but it will work together with other sister tribes.”

Its Explanation/Justification is –“Kuki is a nomenclature and conglomerate of many tribes but there are more than enough evidences that Kuki Inpi and its affiliated organizations are ignoring this fact and openly propagating the unitary concept of “Any Kuki Tribes” which is detrimental to the unity of Kuki nation and Thadou Inpi doesn’t share such a vicious ideology. The declaration is made to highlight that Thadou Inpi will always espouse the cause of Kuki as a nomenclature along with other sister tribes with equal footings only.”

Therefore, any such misuse of the Thadou Inpi without our knowledge will not be tolerated in the near future and such appalling, unfounded and senseless press statement by KIM is highly condemned and should not be repeated.
