\"Imposition<\/div>\n
Supporting the imposition of President\u2019s Rule in Manipur<\/a>, the Kuki-Zo Council<\/a> (KZC), an apex body of Kuki-Zo tribals in the state, on Saturday, expressed confidence that it would pave the way for due political settlements. The KZC, a conglomerate of Indigenous Tribal Leaders’ Forum (ITLF), Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) and several other organisations of Kuki-Zo tribal communities, said that the Council receives positively the government\u2019s declaration of the President\u2019s Rule in the state. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe are hopeful it (President\u2019s Rule) would pave the way for due political settlements and peaceful coexistence (of Meitei and Kuki-Zo-Hmar tribals) as a good neighbour,\u201d KZC Secretary (Information) Khaikhohauh Gangte said.<\/p>\n

Reacting to the comments of BJP\u2019s northeast in-charge Sambit Patra to protect the territorial integrity of Manipur, the KZC claimed: \u201cPatra may be unaware or has chosen not to be aware that Meitei physically violated Manipur\u2019s territorial integrity on May 3, 2023, when they massacred, attacked church buildings, destroyed the homes, and forcefully displaced the Kuki-Zo people from the Imphal valley.\u201d<\/p>\n

The KZC alleged in a statement that N. Biren Singh-led (former Chief Minister) ethnic cleansing has separated Kuki-Zo and Meitei demographically and physically. \u201cKuki-Zo are not separatists, Meiteis have separated Kuki-Zo from Manipur. <\/p>\n


Patra on Friday said in Imphal that after the imposition of the President\u2019s Rule, the \u201c60-member state Assembly was put under suspended animation\u201d meaning that the state Assembly can be revived on a future date as and when the President of India deems fit. \u201cThe BJP governments are committed to continue the peace efforts in the state and to maintain the territorial integrity of Manipur. There would be no compromise on the territorial integrity of the state. Illegal infiltration into Manipur would not be allowed in any circumstances and such attempts would be dealt with severely,\u201d Patra had told the media.After days of political uncertainty following the resignation of N Biren Singh from the chief minister ship, President\u2019s Rule was clamped on Thursday.
In Manipur, at least 258 people have been killed and over a thousand people injured in the ethnic violence between the tribal Kuki-Zo and the non-tribal Meitei people since May 3, 2023. More than 60,000 people have been displaced from their homes and villages who are staying in relief camps in different districts.<\/p>\n

The ethnic violence between the non-tribals Meiteis and tribal Kuki-Zo broke out in the northeastern state on May 3, 2023, after a ‘Tribal Solidarity March’ was organised in the hill districts to protest the Meitei community’s demand for Scheduled Tribe (ST) status.
