Arambai Tenggol Thanks MHA for Firm Stance Against Bifurcating Manipur; Calls for NRC

We Arambai Tenggol expresses our sincere gratitude to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) for their deep understanding of Manipur's historical foundations that safeguard Manipur's territorial integrity. The MHA's acknowledgment of the legal and constitutional complications involved in any attempt to bifurcate Manipur reflects their commitment to justice, constitutional propriety, and national unity.

​We wholeheartedly welcome the clear and firm position taken by the MHA that no new Union Territory (UT) or Separate Administration will be created under any circumstances. According to the clarification issued, the MHA has explicitly informed the Kuki-Zo groups that the Government of India will neither support nor entertain any proposal for the formation of a new Union Territory nor encourage the idea of creating a Separate Administration by bifurcating Manipur. The Ministry has further reaffirmed that, during the tenure of the current government, there are no plans, no policies, and no considerations whatsoever for restructuring Manipur's territorial or administrative framework.

​Arambai Tenggol strongly commends this decisive stand of the Ministry, stating that it reflects a clear understanding of Manipur's history, its delicate socio-cultural fabric, and the legal complexities involved in any attempt to divide the state. We believe that this unwavering commitment from the MHA reinforces the longstanding principle of maintaining the unity, integrity, and indivisibility of Manipur.

​The Arambai Tenggol has always advocated for the implementation of the National Register of Citizens (NRC) in Manipur to identify and filter refugees and illegal immigrants, whose unchecked entry has led to demographic imbalance and social unrest.

​We firmly believe that by addressing this core issue, the age-old harmony, brotherhood, and coexistence among the indigenous communities of Manipur—which have flourished together for centuries—can be revived and strengthened once again.

​The Arambai Tenggol reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the unity, and integrity of Manipur, and calls upon all peace-loving citizens to work collectively towards restoring peace, stability, and mutual respect among all communities.
