Several Kuki-Zo bodies have reiterated their strong support for the stand taken by the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), reaffirming that its resolution reflects the collective political will and democratic mandate of the Kuki-Zo people. The Kuki Inpi Ukhrul District, in a press statement, described the renewed demand for a Separate Administration in the form of a Union Territory under the Constitution of India as a legitimate and constitutional response to the prevailing political, social, and security situation in Manipur. According to the body, the existing administrative system has failed to ensure justice, safety, and equal governance for the Kuki-Zo people, making the demand both necessary and justified.
The Kuki Inpi Ukhrul District also fully endorsed the unanimous resolution stating that the Kuki-Zo people cannot and will not participate in the formation of the Government of Manipur under the current circumstances. It maintained that any political participation without accountability, restoration of normalcy, or justice for the victims would amount to a betrayal of the collective suffering and aspirations of the community. Expressing complete solidarity with the Kuki-Zo Council and the people it represents, the body reaffirmed its commitment to the pursuit of justice, dignity, and a secure political future.
The organisation further urged the Government of India to treat the resolution with the seriousness it deserves and to initiate meaningful and time-bound engagement to address the root causes of the crisis while upholding constitutional values. Similar support was expressed by Kuki Inpi Jiribam, Tamenglong, and Noney, which backed the stand of Kuki Inpi Manipur and reaffirmed the KZC resolution as the collective mandate of the Kuki-Zo people. These bodies stressed that, given the current political and security situation, no Kuki-Zo individual or representative should participate in or legitimise the formation of a Manipur government, as doing so would contradict the unified position of the community.
Kuki Inpi Jiribam, Tamenglong, and Noney further endorsed the demand for a Separate Administration in the form of a Union Territory, describing it as a legitimate and necessary political solution to ensure justice, security, and dignity for the Kuki-Zo people. Reaffirming unity with Kuki Inpi Manipur, the Kuki-Zo Council, and other constituent bodies, they stated their commitment to pursuing a just, durable, and honourable political resolution.
Support for the KZC resolution also came from Tengnoupal district, where the Kuki Chief Association Tengnoupal District, the Hill Tribal Council (HTC) Moreh, and the Molnoi Area Welfare Council (MAWC) endorsed the decision regarding the formation of a popular government in Manipur. These bodies stated that the Kuki-Zo people have long demanded complete separation from the Meitei community, and that the decision of the Kuki-Zo Council aligns with the wishes and aspirations of the community.
They highlighted that the Kuki-Zo people, particularly those in Tengnoupal district, have endured immense hardship, and that the current political, social, and security environment has made peaceful coexistence increasingly impossible. Having been displaced from the valley areas, they asserted that without a concrete political settlement, the community cannot accept or compromise on future coexistence or peace through participation in a common government. The organisations appealed to the central government to recognise the sentiments and suffering of the Kuki-Zo people and to take steps to fulfil their collective demand for a Separate Administration within the constitutional framework of the Indian Union.
