10 Kuki-Zo MLAs And Manipur Cabinet Call For Political Dialogue, Differ In All Other Critical Areas

The Kuki-Zo MLAs attacked the Manipur government over the cabinet resolution that called for operations against whom the state government called "Kuki militants"

Ten Kuki-Zo MLAs from Manipur have asked the Centre and the state government to start a political dialogue for bringing lasting peace in the troubled region, two days after the Manipur cabinet also resolved to do the same.

The 10 Kuki-Zo MLAs, who have been leading the call for a separate administration to be carved out of Manipur, in an eight-point statement on Wednesday also condemned the attack on the houses of "our colleague Meitei MLAs and ministers by frenzied Meitei mobs".

The Manipur cabinet resolution, too, had called the attacks on MLAs and ministers "barbaric actions", to be investigated by a high-powered committee.
