Imphal, March 06, 2010: The United Kuki Liberation Front (UKLF) has refuted any involvement in the matter of land compensation for Integrated Check Post (ICP) or abduction of any individuals.

A press release issued by the outfit’s publicity secretary JM Zou decried the allegation levelled against the UKLF by the Hill Tribal Council (HTC) Moreh in connection with the reported abduction of JAC-ICP chairman Semjathang Haokip and JAC-ICP secretary Ngamjathang Lhungdim.

The outfit asserted that the allegation lacked any basis.

It maintained that the protest rally at Moreh was taken out 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 ICP land compensation got jeopardised.

The land owners/pattadars were intimidated and coerced by KNA and HTC.

Alleging that the HTC is a frontal organisation of KNA in the guise of civil society, the UKLF accused the HTC of being involved in killing innocent Meiteis and other non-tribals.

The antecedents of HTC and its nexus with KNA should be investigated thoroughly by the authority/Government for initiating necessary steps to ban such organisation.

Saying that it took serious note of the false allegation, the UKLF asked the HTC to substantiate their allegation with evidence within two days or tender an unconditional apology.
