KNF reacts on bodies’ appeal

IMPHAL, Sep 21: The Kuki National Front (Military Council) clarifying that the organisation has nothing to do with Longlei (Nungleiban) Kabui but affirmed that Khongbung village under Nungba sub-division of Tamenglong district is a Kuki habitat.

Reacting to the joint appeal by the Zeliangrong Union (AMN) and Zeliangrong Youth Front (AMN) to the KNF (Z) to withdraw its threat of asking Longlei villagers to vacate the place, a KNF (MC) release issued by its information and public relation secretary TH Rio Kuki iterated that Khongbung being a Kuki village the Zeliangrong bodies need to acknowledge the fact rather than ‘use the press for publicity’.

KNF (MC) also asked the Nagas to occupy their own land and the Kukis stay at their own rather than interfere in each others affairs or land to maintain peaceful relationship between the ‘two brothers’.
