*KUKI-ZO COUNCIL* Headquarters: Lamka *PRESS RELEASE* Saturday, 15 February, 2025 Following the imposition of President's Rule in Manipur, BJP MP Sambit Patra, the northeast BJP in-charge, on Friday, 14 February 2025, reiterated the state's territorial integrity, stating that there will be no compromise on the territorial integrity of Manipur and that any kind of illegal infiltration will not be allowed and will be dealt with a severe hand. Sambit Patra may be unaware—or has chosen not to be aware—that Meitei physically violated Manipur's 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. N Biren Singh-led ethnic cleansing has separated Kuki-Zo and Meitei demographically and physically. Kuki-Zo are not separatists; Meiteis have separated Kuki-Zo from Manipur. More than 250 Kuki-Zo people have died in this conflict, over 7000 Kuki-Zo homes have been destroyed, more than 360 places of worship have been set on fire or destroyed, and more than 40,000 Kuki-Zo people have become homeless. The Kuki-Zo Council receives positively the government's declaration of the president's rule in Manipur and is hopeful it would pave the way for due political settlements and peaceful coexistence as a good neighbour. *(KHAIKHOHAUH GANGTE)* Secretary Information, Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) ©𝐙𝐨𝐠𝐚𝐦 𝐈𝐧𝐒𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 > For more updates, follow our Channel https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VagGXwJBA1f6S5IuCN1W
