Once again petrol and diesel have become scarce item. Oil depots at many places had the rope straightened in front of the depots indicating the items are not available. More unfortunate is the fact that the Kuki state demand committee has threatened to call indefinite blockade on the national highway in pursuit of their demand for creation of Kuki land, which means Manipuris will land in the pit of sorrow for some time more. What should we do now? We have not learnt anything from all that we have seen and heard. Despite 15 year long peace talk between NSCN and the Government of India Nagas’s demand for expansion of boundary cannot be fulfilled. Time and again the Government of India is telling territorial boundary of Manipur will not be affected. Then how come Kukis think their demand for creation of Kuki homeland will be heard by the Government of India. Laldenga too fought for greater Mizoram. What did he get? He and his lieutenants ruled Mizoram. That’s all. The protagonists of Kuki homeland are advised to drop their demand and focus on other things. Nagas too have realised the futility of demanding territory expansion so they are shifting their demand to alternative arrangement. Manipur must move forward. It can happen when we all work unitedly understanding each other’s problems. Manipur has changed a lot in the past 30 years. All the district head quarters have seen massive infrastructure coming up. Indoor stadiums conference halls have been constructed in all the district head quarters. Road connectivity has increased. Massive plan is underway to electrify all the villages. However drinking water scarcity is a serious problem, which needs to be solved. Our energy and time must be used in improving our surrounding. Do not waste time in making irrational and unreasonable demand for which there will be no taker. The Government of India will not find time to hear such irresponsibly made demand. We must ask ourselves what are our immediate requirements. Why do we need land in the name of a community? Here again the protagonists of the Kuki state are reminded no land will be created in the name of community. Why cannot we accept the fact that the state of Manipur belongs to all people. Our forefathers fought for creation of this land called Manipur. Nobody will be able to break our land. Chief Minister O. Ibobi when he met the central leadership had made the stand of the state Government clear. It will not allow parting of even an inch of land. Then where lies the possibility of Kukis getting separate state within Manipur. It is time they too realise the futility of fighting over the demand, which will never be fulfilled. Take this word. Manipuris will protect territorial boundary even if the union Government decides to break Manipur. Manipuris fought valiantly against the mighty forces to protect its land. That had been recorded in the history. The recent great June uprising was also a reminder of how Manipuris hold dearly their land. Thousands and thousands will sacrifice their lives for protection of the Manipur’s boundary. Therefore the agitationists are advised to stop the agitation over homeland and allow movement of vehicles on the national to ensure availability of petrol, diesel and other essential items.

SENAPATI, Jan 24 NNN: Even as the Kuki State Demand Committee (KSDC) sponsored agitation has begun from 5 pm today demanding to commence the political dialogue with Kuki militant outfits, the United Naga Council (UNC) has the agitations should not be allowed in ‘Naga areas’.
UNC said that any misunderstanding crops up during the bandh should be held responsible by the bandh sponsors.
“We respect every community. The Nagas respect every ethnic group and their aspirations. However, political aspiration based on artificiality will not serve any good except to bring confusion among the people,” the UNC stated.
According to the UNC, some sections of the people have been recalling time and again on the ‘so called Kuki rebellion’ of 1917-19 and the 1990s ethnic cauldron to create a kind of artificial history and from there a political aspiration is to be based. “Such thing will not work,” asserted the UNC.
