The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) has condemned in the strongest terms all Kuki-Zo MLAs who have participated in the formation of the Manipur Government and declared a social boycott against them in all Kuki-Zo areas.
KZC in a press release said the participation of certain Kuki-Zo MLAs in the formation of the Manipur Government, constitutes a gross violation of the Lungthu Resolution dated January 13, 2026. It said the resolution was collectively and unanimously adopted by the SoO groups, MLAs, and the KZC, resolving not to participate in the formation of the Manipur Government in the absence of a written political commitment from both the Central and State Governments to support a negotiated political settlement-Union Territory with Legislature-under the Constitution of India.
In the absence of any political solution to the ongoing ethnic conflict, the Meitei community-whose armed groups and institutions have been allegedly responsible for unspeakable suffering, violence, and persecution of the Kuki-Zo people-continue to remain our enemy, it said.
By joining the formation of a Meitei-dominated government, these MLAs have effectively aligned themselves with our enemy, thereby betraying their own people and disregarding the immense pain and sacrifices endured by the Kuki-Zo community, it said.
KZC said it views this act as a serious betrayal and a deliberate attempt to undermine the unity, sentiments, and collective political stand of the Kuki-Zo people.
It urged the Kuki-Zo people not to cooperate or associate with them in any social, customary, or public matters. This boycott shall remain in force until they refrain from participation in the Manipur Government and realign themselves with the collective position of the Kuki-Zo people, it said.
