They even submitted memorandum to the United Nations and Prime Minister of Israel. This is a threat to integrity and sovereignty of our nation.”

We can bomb Imphal City starting from C.M. Bungalow…..
This terror threat was made by using social media platform Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/kukitimes2013?mibextid=ZbWKwL) under the name KUKI TIMES who have a wide follower of 9.3K. Their terror propaganda spreaded in collision with armed Kuki militants in the Kuki Times is to encourage the terror thoughts so as to continue and escalate the present violence in the State of Manipur. It is a serious threat against resident of Imphal and also against high dignity of the State so as to refrain him from exercising his lawful powers. It has also affected in social harmony in the State. The Kuki Times in conspiracy with armed Kuki militants abets and incites the commission of unlawful terrorist activities.”
