The Thadou Students’ Association (TSA), registered under the Manipur Societies Registration Act, 1989, flatly has rejected and condemned the anonymous, unsigned “joint declaration” dated March 5 falsely issued in the name of the “unregistered, illegitimate entity” Thadou Inpi – General Headquarters (TI-GHQ).
According to a press release of TSA, the fraudulent, unauthenticated document, lacking signatures, names, designations, seals, or any proof of legitimacy, has no legal standing and is a malicious attempt to defame and divide the Thadou community.
Indian law is crystal clear. Only competent government authorities or courts can declare an organization unlawful. No unregistered, self-anointed faction has this power. The TI-GHQ document is an unlawful usurpation of authority, a violation of due process, and potentially criminal impersonation or criminal conspiracy, it said.
It said that certain media outlets irresponsibly published this baseless, unsigned forgery on March 5 and 6 without verifying its source, authenticity, authorship, or legal validity—spreading misinformation and damaging reputations. The creation, dissemination, and amplification of this defamatory falsehood constitute criminal defamation, libel, and attempts to injure reputation and public order. Those responsible must retract publicly and stop immediately, it said, demanding immediate corrections, retractions, and accountability from all involved outlets.
TSA said the association stands unbowed, resolute, and committed to genuine Thadou progress through law, truth, and legitimate representation—not fabrications from unregistered imposters. It urged every Thadou citizen, the wider public, civil society, and responsible media to reject this anonymous forgery outright.
