The union has asserted Akhel Aimol should not attempt to depict the Aimol Tribe as part of the Kuki tribes. They are also planning to convene a meeting to address Akhel Aimol’s behavior, particularly in relation to his identification as the Aimol Tribe President while having ties to the Kuki Inpi.

Further Munthuireng expressed disappointment that KKL Secretary L. Munidro who on August 19, reportedly classified the Aimol Tribe as belonging to the Kuki group. He urged Munidro to provide clarification about his statement to avoid negative implications for the Aimol people, particularly considering the ongoing violence between Meitei and Kuki people in the state.

Stating that Aimol tribe is a peace loving minority tribe of Manipur, he appealed to all concerned to stop dragging the community in the ongoing violence.

      I don’t even know who is munindro but it’s a universal fact that Aimol also belongs to the Zohnalhak. You people might say u don’t belong to kuki to save ur lives but at the end of the day it will remain a fact that you sold ur identity.

    @Munindro, thoughtless talk like this can spark like wildfire. Your brainless talk can be used by some brainless Meiteis to hate and attack other communities.

    Let me give you one counsel: at some point Meiteis were also migrants to this land, weren’t they? So why live on the past closing your eyes to the present time? I don’t know much about Aimol history, but to say they are Kuki when they take full identification with Naga is a mockery and brainless on your part. You will not gain anything with your negative insertion here. You and all who support you will only get hate. Naga will not take your word. So why create problem for your own self with that?

    One more: you’re entitled to be sued (you know it as FIR) for tarnishing a community if you don’t apologize.

    Another point: Even though they were written by foreigners as you cited, Aimols have suffered a lot at the hand of some wicked people and they have the full right to be in any apex body. By the way, do you know none of Aimol villages was called in Kuki name. Here are a few of them: Tampak, Chingnunghut, Kullen, Chandonpokpi, Ngairong, Khujai, Kumbirei, Satu, etc. Do you understand the meaning and the language of these village names, Munindro and all his minions? So shut your mouth if you don’t understand the context. People like you have dragged brainless people to fight against other people.

      If the Aimol people identify themselves as Naga they have definitely sold their identity. Even if they don’t want to identify themselves as kuki they should know that they are also frm the Zohnalhak. I m a kuki and will understand 80% of their Aimol language, then how come they belong to other tribe rather than kuki/zo/mizo.
      It’s so sad to betray ur own blood brothers and accept someone who is not at all ur kindred.

    The social engineering projects of some vested interested individuals may cost lives of innocent Aimol villagers. Miscreants and war mongers are intoxicated in extreme violence. Aimol Tribe Union should punished the individual Akhel Aimol in public otherwise it will be risky to any Aimol in such situation.
