IMPHAL, June 7 � The apex body of Kuki community � Kuki Inpi, Manipur, Assam and Nagaland � has reportedly appealed to Union Home Minister P Chidambaram to first bring an amicable solution to the long pending demands of the Kukis regarding the genocide committed against the Kukis by the NSCN-IM before arriving at a solution between the Naga rebel group and the Government of India.
According to a report in Manipur-based daily Hueiyen Lanpao, A Lenthang, Kumpi of Kuki Inpi, in a fax message sent to the Union Home Minister, P Chaidambaram, has urged that the Government of India first solve the issue of massacre of 900 innocent Kukis, 360 Kuki villages uprooted and 100,000 Kukis rendered homeless by the outlawed NSCN(I-M) before bringing a solution and lasting peace in the Northeastern region.
He said, without a peaceful settlement of such enormous crimes committed, any kind of possible agreement between the Indian Government and one faction of NSCN would certainly cause much bigger problem in the land, the news report said.
�Because, the Northeastern indigenous peoples, the Kukis in particular, have been suffering so much so that your agreement would certainly call for the wrath of all indigenous peoples,� Lenthang reportedly warned, it added.
He further said, �We want peace, therefore, kindly avoid a possible civil war�.
Meanwhile, NSCN (K), referring to the peace talk between the Centre and NSCN-IM in Kohima, stated that if the meeting does takes place as reported,GPRN/NSCN would only hope that the time tested peaceful co-existence between the Meiteis and Nagas of Manipur would be restored to its rightful position.
