The statement further said, “In this connection the APHLC states that now is not the time for a responsible person holding the post of CEM to say that he will allow or not allow the Kuki refugees from Manipur to remain in Karbi Anglong. If any number of Kuki refugees has come to Karbi Anglong for shelter and protection, it is the duty of the Assam government and the KAAC to give shelter and protection to the Kuki refugees. While giving protection and shelter, the CEM should have condemned the Manipur State government for engineering continuation of ethnic killings among the Kuki-Zo and Meetei communities. After ensuring protection and shelter to the Kuki Zo victims, the CEM should demand of the Manipur government to restive peace and safety and take back the displaced Kuki-Zo refugees, if any in Karbi Anglong. Right now giving of relief to the Kuki-Zo refugees from Manipur, if any, in Karbi Anglong who must ge in distress, is needed as per rule.”
“According to media, the government has stated that a large number of Hindu Bengalis have entered india because of anti-Hindu clasher in Bangladesh recently. But it is surprising that the CEM has not said a word against the large number of Bangladeshi Hindu refugees who have entered Karbi Anglong. The CEM also Families has not uttered a word against the entry of 450 Bengali Hindu refugees into Utter Borbil, Hawraghat, Karbi Anglong and encroached Professional Grazing Reserve / Village Grazing Reserve land since 1953. The CEM has not spoken against the encroachers from Bihar on the 371 bighas of land of Irrigation Department at Bokoliaghat. Over and above, according to NRC report there are one and a half lakh Bangladeshis in Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong districts who are illegal unmigrants and whose name are not in NRC. The government promised to deport them.”
“We whole-heartedly support the demands of Uripok Apunba Lup and Uripok Nupi Apunba Lup in Manipur. We oppose the re-imposition of AFSPA in Manipur. We condemn the killings of our innocent brothers, sisters and children in Jiribam and other places in Manipur. Ostensibly, the riot in Manipur is against Kuki-Zo, but it seems that agents provocateurs have ignited it to inflict heavy destruction on both the Kuki-Zo and Meitei people because both are Indigenous Indian Mongolians. The Centre Government manned mostly by Iranian Aryan people have shown themselves to be allergic towards the people of North-Fast India because the people of North East India are mostly Indigenous Indian Mongolians by race.”
