Manipur: Churachandpur tribal outfit asks Kuki Zo Council not to operate in Zomi tribe areas
IMPHAL: A tribal organisation in Manipur's Churachandpur on Tuesday asked the Kuki Zo Council, an association of the indigenous people, not to operate in Zomi-majority areas of the district, asserting that it does not recognise the legitimacy of the term "Kuki Zo".
Zomi Council, the apex body of the tribe, in a statement, claimed, "It has learnt that certain authorities in the central government have invited a particular civil society organisation from the Manipur hills to surreptitiously discuss the issue of reopening national highways for free access."
Any discussion in this regard must involve the participation of the Zomi Council and its affiliated bodies, without which any arrangement would be considered "obsolete and untenable", it said.
