The Committee on Tribal Unity Sadar Hills (CoTU) on Saturday held a massive protest rally against the alleged prejudicial remarks of Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
In the wake of the shocking triple murder in Thowai village, Ukhrul district, protests have erupted in Hill areas dominated by the Kuki-Zo community in Manipur, demanding reimplementation of the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).
A four-member delegation of the CPI-M led by party General Secretary Sitaram Yechury arrived in ethnically strife-torn Manipur for two days starting Friday.
The ITLF expressed gratitude to the Mizoram government and the people of the state for their unwavering support of the Kuki-Zo tribals in Manipur in our hour of need.
According to official sources within the Army and police, the clash erupted in the early hours of the morning at Thowai village, situated near Litan in Ukhrul district.
The ITLF, one of the leading and influential tribal bodies of Manipur, said boycotting of the Assembly session is also in solidarity with the killings and attacks on the tribals.
