Imphal : Meitei Leepun (ML), a Meitei organization in Manipur stands for the territorial and political integrity of India. ML in a statement signed by Chinglemba Wahengbam said, “We commit to abide by and deliver our duty as per our constitution.

As such we uphold the directives of the Supreme Court of India at which the bench of Chief Justice DY Chandrachud and Justice PS Naramsimha ruled, “We don’t want the proceedings and this court to be used as a platform for escalation of violence and other problems in the state. We cannot take law and order and security apparatus into our hands.

It is for the Union of India and Manipur”; during a hearing of a case filed in connection with the present turmoil in Manipur by a Kuki Organisation called Manipur Tribal Forum, Delhi against our leader Pramot Singh by misquoting one of his statements in a TV Channel.”

Through the statement, they want to appeal to all concerned “not to misinterpret statements for vested propaganda.”  The statement also read, “Manipur is charaterised by peaceful co-existence of diverse communities by respecting their identities and without encroaching the space of one another. In that spirit, we are happy and hopeful that an outfit like KSO has started and will continue to regard the laws of the land. We hope other Kuki outfits will also follow their example and will help in maintaining order in the state.”

It is to be noted that the Kuki organisation had filed a PIL in Supreme Court requesting protection in Kuki dominated area by the army to which the Supreme Court has reacted and given its observations.

Through the statement, they also earnestly urge the Government of India and Manipur to take swift measures to restore normalcy as prolonging the conflict may lead the state to a disaster.
