Imphal, July 27:
Informing that the NSCN (IM) leaders have convened a meeting of Kuki chiefs of Nagaland State at Phaipijang village during which it is suspected that the Kuki chiefs may be coerced to accept the terms of NSCN (IM), the Kuki Inpi has stated there is no change in its stance not to accept any kind of agreement until and unless the Government of India settle the issue which resulted in the massacre of 900 Kukis, uprooting 360 villages and displacing 100,000 Kukis by NSCN (IM).
In a memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister of India, it asserted that the Inpi covers the seven States of North East India and as such "not a single area (State) within the Kuki country can represent the whole areas (States) of Kuki Inpi".
Ignoring the pogrom launched by NSCN (IM) against Kukis will cause a possible outbreak of violence, it said while warning that the negotiators will be held fully responsible and the Government of India will be logically taken as the cause of the consequence, it Inpi urged the Union Government to first settle the Kuki problem for the sake of peace and social harmony.
