KSO once again reacts to UNLF's statement

Imphal, May 14 2009: The Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO), Churachandpur district has once again reacted to the statement of the United National Liberation Front (UNLF), Manipur. A press release entitled "KSO's rebuttal" issued today by its president Paokai Haokip and general secretary Seiboi Haokip stated that apropos the statement of the UNLF vis-�-vis the KSO ( CCpur) in some daily English newspapers today, the student body would like to make, and clarify a few points.

It stated KSO (Churachandpur) is a student's organization, not to be dragged into the conflict zone between the security forces and the UGs.

Indeed, it's preposterous to question the allegiance of the student body by asking and doubting its involvement in anti-social activities.

The student body neither supports nor opposes any UG group; but would never remain a mute spectator whenever and wherever excesses is committed by any group or force (s), the press release asserted.

Whenever discrimination and injustice are diabolically and systematically meted out to the Kuki people and the students in particular, the KSO would stand up to UNLF's statement boldly and oppose it tooth and nail, the press release further contended.

"Unlike the previous press statements of other UG groups, the UNLF has been distancing itself from the Kuki people as it has always interfered in the issues concerning the Kukis alone; and self-proclaimed to be so concerned about the well-being of the Kuki people.

Despite shedding crocodile's tears, the Kukis are much aware of the sinister designs and mischievous deeds of the outfit by "raping scores of Hmar women in Parbung", "mass kidnapping of innocent Kuki civilians to Myanmar"(which led to mass protest rally by Kuki students in Delhi) and "planting of landmines in the vicinity of Kuki villages", which have resulted in loss of lives and property to a great extent!".

"Regarding the unsubstantiated, alleged link between the SFs and Kuki UG groups, the KSO disputes and questions the nexus between the UNLF and the military junta of Myanmar, which has been repressing and depriving the democratic rights of the Kuki people in the Kabaw valley," president Paokai and general secretary Seiboi Haokip pointed out.

The two Kuki student leaders further said, "No wonder, that it's the UNLF who 'bribed and bought' the financially-starved Burmese Junta, thereby attacking Kuki civilians in Indo-Burma border areas a number of times".

They said ,"There would be no further press statement from the KSO (CCPur) vis-�-vis the arrest of Kh.

Megha by troops of AR which was followed by a hate-filled communal propaganda from the UNLF unlike the objective and yet, laudable statement of the RPF".
