Zomi Council rejects Criticism over Dy CM visit to Lamka

ZOMI COUNCIL REJECTS BASELESS CRITICISM OVER DEPUTY CHIEF MINISTER VISIT TO LAМКА

PRESS STATEMENT

Lamka, March 3, 2026

The attention of the Zomi Council (ZC) has been drawn to a press release of date purportedly issued by a certain hitherto unknown and unheard-of organisation condemning the visit of honorable Deputy Chief Minister of Manipur, Pu Losii Dikho to Lamka.

The ZC takes full responsibility for inviting the VVIP as the Chief Guest for the Zomi Nam Ni Football Tournament (final) held on February 14, 2026. He is a sports enthusiast and an efficient organiser. He was also invited as the Chief Guest of the 78th Zomi Nam Ni State-Level celebration at Lamka. Zomi Nam Ni is a holiday observed by the government of Manipur. It is befitting the occasion to invite a senior leader from neighbouring Naga community who also holds the high office of Dy.CM of the State.

In any case, the term Kuki-Zo has never been recognised or accepted by the Zomi Council in any form.

We, the Zomis, are delighted to welcome a VVIP friend in our own ancestral land and nativity.
