Imphal, March 06: The United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF) has denied the charges levelled by Hill Tribal Council (HTC), Moreh against it as having kidnapped two persons.
JM Zou, Publicity Secretary of UKLF stated in a press note that the UKLF is no way involved in the matter of Integrated Check Post (ICP) land compensation or abduction of any individuals.
It is really unfortunate that the HTC has charged UKLF with abducting Semjathang Haokip, Chairman of JAC of ICP, Moreh and Ngamjathang Lhungdim, Secretary of the JAC without any basis, a press release stated.
The so-called abduction protest rally was stage-managed and carried out by HTC at the instigation of KNA to hoodwink the authority and the public when their misdeeds became exposed and chance of their calculated percentage deduction from the ICP land compensation got jeorpadised, JM Zou claimed.
The KNA and the HTC were intimidating and coercing the land-owners/pattadars to give false statements against their will, the press release alleged.
He further said that in fact, HTC is the frontal organisation of KNA acting in the guise of civil society. HTC is involved in the murder and killing of innocent people and other non-tribals at Moreh on many occasions in the past.
The antecedents of HTC and its nexus with KNA merits investigation by the authority/government for intiating necessary steps to ban such organisation. False allegation by HTC against UKLF is viewed seriously. HTC should come out with such evidence and proofs within two days to substantiate their allegation or tender unconditional apology with whatever hidden truth behind their statements and actions, otherwise HTC shall be inviting trouble for itself, the UKLF warned.
