“It has come to our attention that the Kukis have included some of the 251 Meitei Churches that were burned and dismantled during the current communal violence between the Meitei and Kuki communities in the list of Kuki churches,” MCCCM said in a press release.
While the Meitei Churches said the petitioner should be held responsible for any consequences that may arise from the inclusion of Meitei churches without the consent of the individual churches, it “strongly condemned MTFD’s attempt to align the Meitei churches with the Kukis in the aforementioned writ petition.”

Meitei Christian are not Christian. They are just running for money from foreign help and the Kukis…

I don’t think you’re right to say such a thing. Anyone is free to follow whatever religion they want and believe in, regardless of what community they belong to. “Judge not, that you be not judged – Matthew 7:1”

They are right in asking not to be included in the list. They are Christian not kukis and the conflict is not religious.

Kuki are Christian because everyone knows that they are refugees from mayanmar and Bangladesh they are not able to survive in that two countries so that’s why they are looking forward and choose to be Christian so that they can survive in majority Christian states… choose from ua heart and keep churches as worship places not for planning war and warehouse of guns and bombs… Christians are peace makers because they choose as Jesus to be their God and saver but kukis are far different from all NE Christians people

They are probably afraid of their fellow Meiteis to blame them of betrayal and get lynched.
