Lamka, Feb 14, 2026: The Indigenous Tribal Leaders' Forum (ITLF) has strongly condemned an attack on the residence of its spokesperson, Ginza Vualzong, in D. Phailien, Lamka, calling the incident a grave threat to personal safety and community unity.
According to an ITLF public appeal issued jointly by ITLF Chairman Letpu Haokip and General Secretary Elder Dr. Thangsuolien Sinate on Saturday, unidentified miscreants pelted stones at Vualzong's residence at around 1:00 am on Friday night before fleeing the scene. The forum stated that the incident was part of continued threats and acts of intimidation directed at Vualzong and his family, terming such actions "deeply alarming and wholly unacceptable."
ITLF said the attack not only endangered an individual household but also undermined the unity, integrity, and collective cause of the Kuki-Zo people. Vualzong, who is also a spokesperson of the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC), has been a prominent voice in the people's movement since May 3, 2023, advocating democratic aspirations for a Separate Administration in the form of a Union Territory with legislature.
"Any attempt to target him is an attack on the collective voice and shared struggle of the Kuki-Zo people," the statement said, adding that his work has been dedicated to welfare, justice, and the political future of the community without malice toward any other tribal group.
The forum issued a strong appeal to the public to set aside personal differences and internal grievances, warning that personal vendettas and intimidation have no place in a people's movement founded on sacrifice, unity, and justice.
"At this critical juncture, we urge all sections of society to exercise restraint, wisdom, and a heightened sense of collective responsibility," ITLF said, cautioning against internal divisions that could weaken common purpose.
