The Kuki Inpi, Assam, the apex body representing the Kuki community in Assam, expresses its shock and dismay over the recent statement made by the Honourable Chief Executive Member (CEM) of the Karbi Anglong Autonomous Council, Shri Tuliram Ronghang.
In his statement, the CEM claimed that 1,000 Kuki migrants from Manipur have settled in Karbi Anglong. This contradicts his earlier claim that the same 1,000 Kuki migrants were deported back to Manipur. Such contradictory and baseless remarks are both surprising and deeply concerning.
The claim of 1,000 migrants settling in Karbi Anglong is not only implausible but also lacks credibility. The presence of such a large group would undoubtedly be visible and require substantial resources, including humanitarian aid, housing, and relief materials—efforts far beyond the capacity of the local Kuki population in Karbi Anglong. Additionally, it is highly unlikely for Kukis from Manipur to migrate during the ongoing crisis when they are preoccupied with protecting their villages, properties, and lives.
In Manipur, village leaders have issued stern warnings against abandoning their villages, emphasizing the need to safeguard their homes and communities. Those who temporarily relocated to safer areas were explicitly instructed to return immediately or risk losing their rights to reclaim their homes after normalcy is restored. This further debunks any claims of a mass migration of Kukis from Manipur to Karbi Anglong.
The statement by the CEM, therefore, is unfounded, misleading, and potentially inflammatory. It risks creating unnecessary tension and confusion among communities in Karbi Anglong and beyond. The Kuki Inpi, Assam, and the Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO), Assam, view such remarks as detrimental to the ongoing efforts to maintain peace and harmony.
It is unfortunate that certain elements seem intent on extending the communal violence in Manipur to Assam. Despite such provocations, the Kuki Inpi, Assam, and the KSO remain committed to preserving peace, fostering unity, and preventing communal hatred from taking root in Assam.
We earnestly appeal to all sections of society—irrespective of tribe, caste, or religion—to reject false narratives and baseless allegations. Let us uphold the values of truth, peace, and harmony to ensure the stability and unity of our communities.
