PRESS STATEMENT

The Village Volunteers Coordinating Committee (VVCC) strongly condemns the Ministry of Home Affairs' initiative to broker a cessation of hostilities agreement between the Kuki-Zo Council, Meitei civil organizations, and the government, without first delivering justice and addressing our longstanding demand for a separate administration in the form of Union Territory with legislative powers.

We unequivocally reject any agreement that fails to prioritize our community's rights and interests. The VVCC will not recognize any agreement reached without a comprehensive political resolution that meets our demands.

Should the Kuki-Zo Council proceed with signing an agreement that compromises our aspirations, the VVCC will take decisive action, including boycotting the council.

We urge the Kuki-Zo community to stand united in our pursuit of justice, permanent peace, and tranquility. We call on the public to continue advocating for our rightful political aspirations, which are deeply rooted in the Indian Constitution and our fundamental rights. Our demands will not be silenced until they are fully achieved.
