"The government of Manipur would like to address certain claims made by an organisation identifying itself as the Kuki-Zo Council recently. Upon investigation, it has been found that no such organisation exists in Manipur," the government said in a statement
There is no organisation called "Kuki-Zo Council" and no district by the name "Lamka" in Manipur, the state government said in a statement on Thursday. This group had objected to Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh passing through Kangpokpi district in order to reach Senapati district, where Mr Singh participated in a local festival.
"The government of Manipur would like to address certain claims made by an organisation identifying itself as the Kuki-Zo Council recently. Upon investigation, it has been found that no such organisation exists in Manipur," the government said in the statement.
"The origin and authenticity of this group are highly questionable. There is no district by the name Lamka, mentioned as a headquarters [of the group] in Manipur. This raises strong suspicions regarding the external origins of such organisations that appear to operate outside legal and administrative frameworks," the government said.
