DIMAPUR — Reacting to the statement issued by former NPCC president K Therie regarding separate administrations in Manipur, the NSCN (IM) on Tuesday said that Therie’s statement ‘reflects his poor knowledge of the geopolitical issue in Manipur’.
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=1]In a press note, the group mentioned that his statement on the controversial Kuki-Zo’s demand for separate administrations in Manipur is not surprising, and added that, given the sensitivity of the issue, the National Socialist Council of Nagalim stayed away from getting involved in any manner other than to make its stand sharp and clear that not even an inch of Naga territory should be touched in the name of geopolitical arrangement for the Kuki-Zo community in Manipur.
“K Therie’s unmerited concern for the Kuki-Zo community for separate administration is like a ‘voice crying in the wilderness’ for the Kuki-Zo community. He needs to look at the Kuki-Zo demand for separate administration within the larger context of Naga’s geopolitical issue and not from the Kuki-Zo geopolitical perspective,” the note read.
The NSCN (IM) suggested that Therie stay away from the Meitie-Kuki-Zo ethnic issue and avoid making any comment or statement that is bigger than what he can handle.
