The Thadou Students’ Association – General Headquarters (TSA-GHQ), the sole legitimate guardian of Thadou identity and rights since 1957, denounced the “brazen criminality of three notorious figures” viz. Lamminlun Singsit (self-proclaimed President, Thadou Inpi Sadar Hills), Lungoulen Guite (bogus General Secretary), and Kamchon Kipgen (fraudulent Information Secretary), who operate under the sham banner of “Thadou Inpi Sadar Hills” (TI-SH), alleging that these imposters, devoid of any legal authority, issued coercive WhatsApp summons on February 17 and 20 to George L. Thadou, duly appointed TSA Sadar Hills President, demanding his submission at their Kangpokpi lair. This vile electronic harassment constitutes outright criminal intimidation, conspiracy, and a savage assault on constitutional rights under Articles 14, 19, and 21—inflicting terror, mental anguish, and eroding Thadou autonomy, stated a press release of TSA.
It stated that these culprits are core architects within the anti-nationals “Committee on Tribal Unity (CoTU),” Kangpokpi, relentlessly advancing separatist demands for a “Kuki-Zo Union Territory,” glorifying militants, issuing highway blockades, and fueling Manipur’s chaos since the 2023 ethnic bloodshed. Lately, they shamelessly masquerade as Thadou representatives to hijack and dilute our distinct tribal identity (recognized under 1956 President’s Order), forcing it into their toxic Kuki supremacist and separatist vortex—eroding Thadou independence and dragging us into extremism, it stated. Alarmingly, all violent upheavals in Kangpokpi, from arson, shutdowns, and clashes to the 2023 violence’s ripple effects, bear the fingerprints of these three key instigators, who orchestrate anti-peace disruptions under tribal pretexts, exacerbating divisions and undermining India’s unity, it alleged.
TSA rejected their venomous agenda outright, standing firm for peace, education, and constitutional harmony—unlike their glorification of division and terror. It demanded instant FIR registration and ruthless prosecution for intimidation, harassment, and electronic abuse; deep probe into their CoTU roles, separatist ties, funding, and complicity in Kangpokpi violence; dismantling of their pseudo-entities misusing Thadou nomenclature for anti-national ends and urgent security for TSA leaders amid escalating threats. Thadous will not bow to intimidation or identity theft. Authorities must crush these separatist vipers to restore justice and national integrity in Manipur, TSA stated.
