On this connection, the chairman of the Kuki Movement for Human Rights, Dr T Lunkim alleged that ever since O Ibobi Singh Meitei becomes the Chief Minister of Manipur, the Manipur valley based Meitei underground personnel and banned organizations have entered Manipur Hill Tribal lands, Chandel and Churachandpur Districts and are torturing the innocent tribal people, particularly the Kukis.
Dr Lunkim alleged that lanmines have murdered over 30 people and maimed many others, raped over 20 innocent women, illegally occupied the lands and making the unarmed people live like slaves.
Dr Lunkim said that the Kukis have lost confidence in the ruling ministries, as several Memoranda have been submitted to both State and the Central Governments, for which remedial steps have not yet been taken up.
Dr Lunkim also alleged some nexus between the Manipur Chief Minister and the underground organizations.
“O Ibobi, the Chief Minister, is suspected to using the valley based Meitei militants, because he lately declares his sinister design to take over tribal town Moreh, by saying that Moreh problem, created by him as Chief Minister, will be solved by upgrading Moreh Hill Town as Municipal Council against the Constitution of India Article No. 371,” said Dr Lunkim
On this regard,
Dr Lunkim requested the immediate action in order to remove communalism and bring about peace and harmony in Moreh Hill Town, hill districts in Manipur State under the provision of the hill tribal areas protection.
