Senapati, January 24 2013:
Even as the Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) sponsored agitation has begun from 5 pm today demanding initiation of political dialogue with Kuki militant outfits, the United Naga Council (UNC) has stated that the agitations should not be allowed in 'Naga areas' .
UNC said that in case any misunderstanding that crops up during the bandh, the bandh sponsors should be held responsible.
"We respect every community.
The Nagas respect every ethnic group and their aspirations.
However, political aspiration based on artificiality will not serve any good except to bring confusion among the people," the UNC stated.
According to the UNC, some sections of the people have been recalling time and again the 'so called Kuki rebellion' of 1917-19 and the 1990s ethnic cauldron to create a kind of artificial history and from there a political aspiration is to be based.
"Such thing will not work," asserted the UNC.
Meanwhile, the KSDC sponsored public blockade has begun this evening in Kuki inhabited areas.
