Senapati | October 16
The United Naga Council (UNC), in its presidential council meeting on Wednesday in Senapati, re-affirmed the resolution of September 5 presidential council meeting with regard to the Indo-Naga political issue.
The UNC presidential council meeting then took a resolution that in the ancestral land of the Nagas no one can make unfounded claim.
Meanwhile, issuing a press statement with regard to the Kuki Inpi, Manipur (KIM) commemorating the centenary of the ‘Anglo-Kuki War 1917-15’ with the slogan ‘In Defence of Our Ancestral Land and Freedom’ scheduled to be observed on October 17 by erecting a stone monolith, the UNC appealed to “fellow Kuki brethren to kindly” restraint from making any provocative statement and activity. “The UNC would appreciate if one does not concoct or twist the history at one’s own convenience and interpret as one like it. It will be good that one knows properly one’s root and history,” the UNC stated.
The UNC meanwhile urged that “all of us if we can be contented with what we are, for we all know the history of Manipur. Let us not cross the limit with historical distortion”.
It further hoped that the Manipur Government would act responsibly towards ensuring that no community takes the history of Manipur for a ride. “Any fallout of the above consequences, the Nagas should not be held responsible,” it added.
