A release issued by Issued by Information & Publicity, Thadou Tribe Council (TTC) GHQ, condemned the non-Thadou blood, non-residents who allegedly had frequent contact with Chief Minister N Biren Singh in the name of Thadou for money, at the cost of several Thadou blood, properties and land in particular and that of the whole Kuki-Zo in general, in the current crisis, for personal gains.
It mentioned that the TTC-GHQ convened an emergency meeting on Monday and took various resolutions.
It decried the Media Release, vide. No. nill, dated, the August 4 issued by 2/3 individual nonresident Indian (NRI) who are allegedly non-bonafide Thadous, claiming that Thadou Community International (TCI) was formed in 1992, and termed it as misleading. It clarified that as per TTC record, it was formed in the year 1970 with Pu Paokhosei Kipgen as the first TTC President.
It alleged that the Convenor of TCI Chongboi, who was married to a foreigner is no longer a Thadou as per Thadou Traditions and Customary Laws, adding that she has no say and voice in the Thadou community. It further accused that Co-convenor of TCI, Kapchungchung Tado is not a Thadou by blood, stating that as per the Genealogy of Thadou, there is no such clan or clans as Tado.
