KANGPOKPI,July 7: The Kangpokpi Town Committee chairman, Chonkam Kipgen and J Guite, vice chairman of KTC today made a clarification on KSDC general strike and economic blockade along NH-2 within Sadar Hills which was published yesterday in some local daily newspapers under the headlines “Sadar Hills to endorse KSDC general strike and economic blockade”.
Chonkam Kipgen clarified that, there is no such committee by the name of KSDC Sadar Hills nor election to the committee has been conducted while adding that yesterday’s briefing was done by K.Khongsai, spokesperson KSDC and Haopu Gangte, general secretary KSDC.
He further clarified, “I am not the convenor as reported in the news item as well as J Guite is not the general secretary but the vice chairman of Kangpokpi Town Committee. Hence we are not holding any portfolio in KSDC”.
Chonkam also clarified and made his stand clear that, until and unless the two umbrella bodies of various Kuki militants outfit Kuki National Organization as well as United People`s Front are not in one common plateform, the general public particularly the Kukis within Sadar Hills cannot fully support and endorse any agitations sponsored by the Kuki State Demand Committee.
