Lamka, Feb 5, 2026: The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) has declared a social boycott against certain Kuki-Zo Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) for participating in the formation of the Manipur Government, calling the move a serious betrayal of the collective stand of the Kuki-Zo people.
In a statement issued by the Information and Publicity wing of the Kuki-Zo Council on Wednesday, the KZC said the participation of these MLAs violates the Lungthu Resolution adopted on January 13, 2026. The resolution, unanimously agreed upon by the Suspension of Operations (SoO) groups, Kuki-Zo MLAs, and the KZC, resolved not to take part in the formation of the Manipur Government without a written political commitment from both the Central and State Governments for a negotiated political settlement in the form of a Union Territory with Legislature under the Constitution of India.
The Council stated that, in the absence of a political solution to the ongoing ethnic conflict, the Meitei community and its armed groups remain adversarial to the Kuki-Zo people. It alleged that these groups have been responsible for violence, persecution, and suffering endured by the Kuki-Zo community.
According to the KZC, by joining a Meitei-dominated government, the concerned MLAs have aligned themselves against their own people, disregarding the pain and sacrifices of the Kuki-Zo community. The Council described the act as a deliberate attempt to undermine unity and the collective political position of the Kuki-Zo people.
The KZC announced that the social boycott will apply across all Kuki-Zo areas. It urged the public not to cooperate or associate with the concerned MLAs in any social, customary, or public matters. The boycott will remain in force until the MLAs withdraw from participation in the Manipur Government and realign themselves with the collective stand of the Kuki-Zo people.
