Two Kuki-Zo MLAs Attend Manipur Assembly Session After Three Years
Two Kuki-Zo MLAs, Haokholet Kipgen and Kimneo Haokip Hangshing, attended the Manipur Assembly session in Imphal for the first time in over three years since ethnic violence erupted in May 2023. Their physical presence marks a significant development amid ongoing ethnic tensions and demands for a separate Kuki administration. Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh welcomed their return as a positive step toward peace and unity, attributing it to government efforts to reduce community distrust. The session continues amid political debates and a directive from Kuki Inpi Manipur urging MLAs to avoid attending until political issues are resolved.
