IMPHAL | Feb 23: Like the terror of June 18, 2001 the state might burn again on the issue of framework agreement signed between the government of India and NSCN (IM) said during a press meet by president of Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM), Thangkhosei Haokip held at Kuki Inn, Old Lambulane, Imphal today.

Speaking the media president of KIM, Thangkhosei Haokip said that the government of India should disclose the framework agreement. Prime Minister, Narendra Modi should clarify the content of the agreement on February 25 on his visit of the State.

He asked the central government, what is the hidden agenda behind the framework agreement as the content is still unknown even to the leaders of the state.

He further said that for the economic blockade KIM does not want the military to control the situation instead they want a solution.

Demanding justice for the Kuki people of Manipur he said that prior to any final agreement between the government and NSCN (IM) the government must settle the issue of NSCN (IM) atrocities against Kukis.

As 905 innocent Kukis were murdered including the aged, children, pregnant mothers and disabled. Adding that 360 Kuki villages were uprooted and its lands were seized also more than 1 lac was rendered homeless and landless.

He further appeals to the government of India that the murderers must be punished under the court of law. The people had learnt the lesson of ceasefire agreement which was hidden to the people that ends with the death of 18 people.

Likewise, this framework agreement might end with the same terror, he added. Also the government of India is playing a blame game between the ethnic groups of the state, Thangkhosei Haokip added.
