Lamka, Feb 5, 2026: The Kuki Students' Organisation (KSO), Churachandpur District, on Wednesday expressed strong support for Kuki-Zo MLAs who refused to participate in the formation of the Manipur Government, calling their decision an act of courage and loyalty to the people's collective mandate.
In a press release issued on February 5, the KSO said the MLAs upheld the demand for Separate Administration by staying away from the government formation process at a time when displacement, insecurity, and institutional betrayal continue to affect the hill districts.
The organisation stated that democratic legitimacy cannot be achieved through participation in governance when communities remain traumatised and constitutional trust has been broken. It added that true leadership is defined by commitment to justice and collective dignity rather than proximity to power.
At the same time, the KSO expressed deep disappointment and anger toward Kuki-Zo legislators who chose to participate in the Manipur Government. It said such actions violated the resolution adopted at the NAMPI Conclave in Guwahati and weakened unity when collective resolve is most needed.
The KSO Churachandpur also announced its full endorsement of the social boycott declared by the Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) against MLAs who took part in the government formation.
As a mark of protest and solidarity, the organisation called for a 24-hour total shutdown across Churachandpur district, beginning from midnight of February 6, 2026. The public has been urged to observe the shutdown peacefully, with exemptions for medical emergencies, media, and essential humanitarian services.
The organisation clarified that the shutdown is a democratic expression of protest and not a partisan or vindictive act. It stated that the action serves as a reminder that silence in times of injustice amounts to complicity.
Additionally, the KSO appealed to the public to join a mass rally organised by the Kuki Women Organisation for Human Rights (KWOHR) on February 6, 2026, at 12:30 PM, from Koite Ground to Peace Ground, Tuibong, protesting the participation of Kuki-Zo MLAs in the formation of the Manipur Government.
The statement was issued by the Department of Information and Publicity, Kuki Students' Organisation, Churachandpur District.
