Imphal, Sept 11:
The Manipur Muslim Welfare Organization (MMWO) issued a stern warning to the Kuki militants following a series of violent attacks on the Muslim community. In a recent incident, Kuki militants attacked Kwakta village, gravely injuring eight Muslim individuals. A subsequent bomb detonation over a Moirang River culvert left three Muslims injured, with one potentially facing lifelong disability.
Furthermore, on September 9, the MMWO highlighted an attempt by Kuki militants to assassinate and later decompose a Sub Inspector from the Manipur Police Department, Singamayum Sabir Ahamed, and two others. Their alleged crime was displaying a sticker on their vehicle proclaiming, ‘Manipur Kaiba Yaroi (No compromise on Manipur’s territorial integrity)’, and the emblem of the seven clans.
The MMWO emphasized its commitment to the undivided territory of Manipur. “The stance on Manipur’s territorial integrity isn’t just Singamayum Sabir Ahamad’s alone but represents the collective sentiment of all Meitei Pangal in Manipur,” the organization declared. “Every Meitei Pangal will, to their last breath, champion and uphold the territorial integrity of Manipur against the Kuki, Chin, and any other factions with divisive intentions.”
Stressing their history of peaceful existence, the organization said, “The Meitei-Pangal community has traditionally chosen silence and peace. However, the current circumstances demand a change in our stance. We, the Meitei Pangal, assert our right to move freely within our homeland, Manipur, without seeking anyone’s permission.”
