A Kuki human rights group in Manipur has called on 10 Kuki lawmakers, including seven from the ruling BJP, to step down and reaffirm their commitment to seeking a 'separate administration' for the Kuki community. The Kuki Human Rights Council (KHRC) claims that the lawmakers' continued presence in the Manipur assembly is a betrayal of the community's trust, as they have long sought autonomy to ensure safety, security, and protection of their rights. The 10 lawmakers, who include prominent BJP members, have been asked to resign to show their commitment to the cause of a separate administration. The KHRC believes that this bold action will send a strong message to the community that they are willing to take concrete steps to achieve their demands. The demand for a separate administration is not just about political autonomy but a fundamental right, according to the KHRC. The group has been vocal about its opposition to any compromise on this issue, which has been a long-standing concern for the Kuki community. Manipur has been under President's Rule since February, following nearly two years of ethnic violence that resulted in the deaths of at least 260 people and the displacement of over 50,000 others. The KHRC's statement emphasizes the urgency of addressing the community's demands and ensuring their safety and security.
