Churachandpur, May 17: The Kuki Students\u2019 Organisation (KSO), Churachandpur district, has strongly condemned the registration of an FIR against Paojakhup Guite, President of KSO Delhi & NCR, calling it an act of intimidation and legal harassment aimed at silencing dissent and punishing truth-telling.<\/p>\n
In a press release issued today, the KSO stated that Mr. Guite has been a vocal advocate against the systemic discrimination and marginalisation faced by the Kuki community in Manipur. It asserted that his recent comments on the Shirui Lily Festival\u2014criticising it as a covert attempt by the Meitei community to cross sensitive buffer zones\u2014sparked important public discourse, which is now being met with \u201cintimidation tactics.\u201d<\/p>\n
The organisation pointed out what it described as a stark double standard in law enforcement. It named individuals such as Pramod Singh, Mr. Koroungamba, and members of the musical group Tapta, accusing them of making inflammatory remarks or content targeting Kukis, yet allegedly enjoying impunity despite multiple FIRs filed against them.<\/p>\n
The KSO’s statement warned that targeting Kuki voices like Guite while ignoring offenses by others reveals \u201ca deeply entrenched bias within the law enforcement and political machinery.\u201d<\/p>\n
The organisation called on the Government of India and relevant state authorities to urgently initiate meaningful political dialogue. It warned that continued inaction could push the region further into instability, with the current situation on the ground already precarious due to unresolved grievances and institutional apathy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Organisation also ponders any attempt to apprehend Mr. Paojakhup Guite shall be viewed as a clear demonstration of partiality and a grave injustice,\u201d the statement read. It further warned that if any untoward incident arises from such action, the government would bear full responsibility.<\/p>\n
The KSO concluded by urging the government to uphold justice, impartial governance, and democratic accountability, and to move beyond \u201cempty assurances\u201d toward a fair and inclusive resolution that recognizes the rights of long-silenced communities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
