Objection to Ukhrul House in Imphal
May 12th, 2016, Imphal:
People’s Movement for Resurgent Manipur (PMRM) strongly objected to the proposed Ukhrul House in Imphal. The idea for “Ukhrul House” seems a hidden agenda for few politicians who are interested to divide Hills and Valleys. PMRM understands the miseries of hill brothers and sisters and the inconveniences encountered by people from the Hill districts when they came to Imphal. But there are lots of options to solve these problems.
The Central Government has been providing several funds for construction of short stay homes/hostels to support Tribals and Minorities. And many such shelters are also set up in the Imphal, with sole purpose of helping the tribal populations. The Phugreiyur Welfare Association (PWA) should first check the proper functioning of these centres.
With regards to the proposal for Construction of Ukhrul House, the PWA should reply why they want such House in Imphal. Ukhrul is neither a state of India nor a Country. We would not tolerate such political conspiracy. Ukhrul is a district of Manipur and administered by Government of Manipur. Do not try to act smart by proposing such demands which is impossible and sow seed of hatred among the future generations.
Demands for Kuki homeland gave birth due to the political conspiracy of late R Suisa, Tangkhul MP who tricked the Kuki brethrens to sign refugee relief funds, thereby proclaiming Kukis are refugees in the State. Later, another Tangkhul leader, Rishang Keishing, a Congress MLA started the Naga Integration movement and lobbied for the Naga Nation, which is the root cause of decade long unrest among the communities.
“Ukhrul House” will be another political blunder, confirming Ukhrul as not part of Manipur State. Is it the first step for the demand for Sixth schedule where Ukhrul thought as separate entity from GOM? Will this pave the way for other Districts to demand their respective Houses in Imphal, directly hitting the Bull’s eye, for separate administration?
PMRM also condemned those dignitaries presented at Lamyanba Sanglen to sought Plot for Ukhrul House in Imphal for their short sighted views.
