Terming Chief Minister Biren Singh's leadership as a nuisance, havoc and a total failure, the Kuki Inpi Manipur (KIM) has stated that Biren Singh should not be allowed in any form to remain at the helm of affairs if all concerned are serious about peace being restored in the state.
KIM general secretary Khaikhohauh Gangte stated in a release that KIM cannot comprehend the logic behind making Biren Singh the head of the Unified Command even when he had lost all confidence and trust.
A person who orchestrated the ethnic cleansing pogrom against the Kukis being appointed as the head of the Unified Command defeats all purposes and renders it meaningless, he added.
There will be no respite, and peace is doomed to be elusive as long as Biren Singh is at the helm of the affairs of the State, KIM said.
It alleged that there is little wonder when Kukis came under siege and operations are conducted in Kuki areas where arms from village volunteers are seized by the security forces under the command of Biren Singh.
Not only had he masterminded the genocidal killings against the Kukis, Biren Singh incited hate campaign against the Kukis and is still using provocative and incendiary comments against the Kukis via social media platforms, KIM stated.
Alleging the CM of being a double standard personality, KIM questioned how the Kukis can expect fair dealings or fairness from a man who engineered their doom as a people?
Biren Singh should not be allowed in any manner to remain at the helm of affairs if all concerned are serious about peace to be restored, KIM said, adding that it must also be noted with concern that Biren's leadership is a nuisance, havoc and a total failure.
The Government of India should take notice of the stated views of the public and remove Biren from the Unified Command in order to bring trusts and confidences, KIM said.
The Kuki Inpi Manipur would not extend any form of cooperation to the Unified Command and would be compelled to construe that Biren Singh is allowed free hands to annihilate the Kukis unless he is removed as the in-charge or even from a member of the Unified Command, KIM added.
