Manipur: UNC condemns Kuki-Zo Community’s alleged distortion of Naga history

Guwahati: The United Naga Council (UNC), the apex Naga body in the region, stated that the Nagas are taken aback by the “blatant lies, lopsided history, and fabricated information” contained in every statement and memorandum issued by the Kuki-Zo community in Manipur.

These actions are tantamount to distorting Naga history and insulting the Naga people, the UNC claimed.

The UNC’s Information & Publicity Secretary, in a press statement, asserts that regarding land issues, the Nagas’ opposition to the creation of new districts in 2016 remains unresolved.

“The districts carved out from Senapati and Chandel districts are seen as products of the Congress government’s appeasement policy carried out in the name of administrative convenience. As a result, the demand for separate administration that includes the so-called new two districts is met with opposition. The Nagas’ stance against this remains unchanged”, the statement added.

It added that the bifurcation of the so-called two districts is an issue mainly concerning the Kukis, not the Zo people. The Kuki-Zo people’s representations to the Union Government, Israeli Prime Minister, European Parliament, UNO, etc., are built on a false territorial foundation and attempt to deceive these authorities.
