Imphal, Mar 15 : The Kuki National Liberation Front (KNLF) has rejected the suspension of operation agreement signed by 18 Kuki rebel groups with the government as an attempt by the Centre to suppress their struggle.
In a statement issued here today in connection with the March 6 foundation day of the outfit, KNLF chairman Palen Kuki said, “The agreement has created divisions among communities and weakened the unity of the people.” The fourth foundation day of KNLF and its armed wing, Kuki Peoples Army, was held at the group’s tactical headquarters in Chandel district.
He said KNLF and KPA were founded on March 6, 2008, to protect Kukis’ land from India and also to unify the community. “KNLF and its armed wing will never compromise on Kuki nationalism. India’s policy to sign the agreement with the 18 Kuki groups has diluted the Kuki revolutionary spirit,” he added.
The KNLF was founded after the tripartite agreement was signed in 2005 by the Manipur government, the Centre and 18 Kuki armed groups.
