Dimapur, May 25: The NSCN-IM said today that it took serious note of the “attack” on one Kom village by Kuki militants recently. The NSCN-IM also expressed its deep concern on the burning down of places of worship (churches).

In a statement issued on Thursday, the NSCN-IM said, “It is a matter of regret that one Kom village–Kangathei village–has come under attack by Kuki militants and the villagers were forced to vacate their Kangathei village”. The NSCN-IM further said, “Such vicious violence will only aggravate the situation and this must be put to stop forthwith for the sake of humanity and peaceful coexistence. Kindly consider this with a show of great sagacity and statesman’s foresight”.

The NSCN-IM then said that the ongoing violence between the two communities – Meiteis and the Kukis– is something very detestable. It also said that the attack against the place of human inhabitants (villages) is very inhuman. It added that burning down of places of worship (churches) is considered as sacrilegious acts committed on religious lines. The NSCN-IM then stated that all these acts of violence are violation of human rights that are applicable to all members of human society. 

The statement then said, “The National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) puts on record that the following Naga minor tribes—Aimol, Chiru, Chothe, Kharam, Koireng and Kom are parts of Naga community and have been actively involved in the Nagas’ political struggle for their freedom from India and Myanmar till our goal is achieved”. The NSCN-IM added by saying, “Our Meitei brothers and Kukis should not take them otherwise and harass them in any manner”.

    However,the villagers give a different story…..it was out of fear from the meitei mobs that the villagers left to a nearby Kom village for safety on their own…no such action was done by kuki millitants and they don’t really have a reason for such action , rather I think they would opt for protection if need be by the villagers ..it was the sangai express news that release such news for creating further confusion as a tribal divisive propaganda….the meitei sided news and medias should not be trusted now as the media itself turns so communal, baseless,factless, one sided as expected…even a child would now know it’s not the time to trust meitei medias ✋

This news reports sources was totally faults & not truth. Therefore, I erarnestly,request all news editors or any social media not to suppress faults report for the safety & interest of the villagers in the days to come without the consent of the Village Authority & the Chiefs of Kangathei Village, which might hamper the village in danger, which live in peaceful co-existence till date.

    Ukhrul times.. please make sure you publish the facts and not copy paste what you heard or read from the sanghai express. Know the truth first.
    Isn’t it obvious that the CM, commandos,and so formed goons and the media belong to the meitei community who are abusing and doing whatever they want,saying whatever they want seeking their own favour and broadcasting themselves as the victim and the good ones while making their counterpart appear like a villian?
    The whole internet is banned and they are at the heart of the state controlling everything. Can we use some logic here? Why not get the factual incident report from the village chief or the villagers directly instead of believing from the people who are already in this fight? Why adding more fuel to make the situation worse if you can’t offer any solutions to this ongoing clash?
    Please do better.
    Thanks.

    Meitei are devil worshippers. they are lying openly since from the begining, kukis never threaten the kom people..instead we are defending them and helping them, meiteis itself spreading lies for propaganda, lets try not believe this meites. they create problem, the killed civilian, they burned everything, the rape, torture and killed civilian in a cold blooded, after that they will say kukis are doing this and that. In the name of Jesus, we will not lie, truth will be reveal soon. Meiteis are the agressor, they started everything, they can stop everything. to the meities, today you are holding everything, news, development, infrastructure bla3, time will come for tribals as well. Dear brother nagas, meiteis will be responsible for everything, we kukis are foolish people, illetrate people, we dont know nothing, all problems begins from the meities cm mps and his council of ministers. may god give us justice.

    Lies and fake news spreading faster and faster as the common citizen gets no internet service in Manipur. As we know even respected Mary kom appeals for help. So no tribal feel safe in the valley thought its not covering all the tribals… I live in Imphal, my house was burn down on 4 may 2023 and i have to leave Imphal with no option. So please, every news needs to be accurate and genuine. Common Citizen mostly depends news so fake news are a fuel in this critical situation of Manipur. Thanks you.

    Why are the Tankhuls just sitting still, are they not tribals too? Sitting cozy with the Meiteis! They will eat you up next if they are allowed to be ST. They will buy up your lands if they are allowed to be ST. If the Kukis prevail, they will be the ones who defended the rights of the hills while you did nothing. I understand Tangkhul Nagas and Kukis have been enemies before but this may be the one and only time you can come together and that too for a precious goal that affects all the tribals. Don’t be easily fooled by fake news and post provocative statements without knowing the truth. The enemy seeks to divide and rule.
