Khemchand to Litan Sarei Relief Camps"},"content":{"rendered":"

The Kuki Inpi Ukhrul District (KIU)<\/strong>, the apex body of Kuki tribes in Ukhrul district, has strongly condemned what it described as an \u201cuninvited and unauthorized<\/strong>\u201d visit by MLA Y. Khemchand to the Litan Sarei Relief Camps on December 8. In a press release, the KIU termed the visit a serious breach of protocol, propriety and humanitarian sensitivity.<\/p>\n

According to the statement, the MLA\u2019s sudden appearance, reportedly accompanied by a large security contingent, caused \u201cdeep distress<\/strong>\u201damong Kuki Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), who continue to live under trauma and uncertainty. The KIU said such an act was not only unacceptable but also \u201cprofoundly disrespectful<\/strong>\u201d to a community still awaiting justice.<\/p>\n

The organisation questioned the MLA\u2019s silence during what it described as the community\u2019s darkest period. \u201cWhere were you when the Kukis were persecuted, displaced, and subjected to crimes of unimaginable cruelty?<\/strong>\u201d the KIU asked, adding that no gesture of goodwill could be proclaimed through political posturing or unannounced visits when justice remains undelivered.<\/p>\n

The press release further alleged that the visit appeared to be a calculated political exercise aimed at creating an impression of normalcy and unrestricted access to Kuki relief camps. It accused the MLA of attempting to elevate his political standing by portraying himself as a \u201cdaring figure acting against prevailing tensions.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

The KIU clarified that while limited movement of Meitei individuals through Ukhrul has been allowed out of respect for Tangkhul communities committed to peace, such instances should not be misinterpreted as permission for political leaders to enter Kuki areas without protocol.<\/p>\n

The organisation also criticised certain valley-based media houses for allegedly linking the MLA\u2019s visit with an unrelated journalist\u2013IDP interaction, describing it as \u201cunethical misrepresentation<\/strong>\u201d. The KIU urged media outlets to uphold journalistic integrity and avoid misleading portrayals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
