LAMKA, June 26, 2026: The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) has issued an official clarification stating that remarks made by its Chairman during a press conference on June 25 regarding the killing of six Naga hostages have been misunderstood by some sections of the media and the public.
In a clarification issued by the KZC Spokesperson Ginza Vualzong on June 26, the Council said the Chairman's expression of regret was made purely on humanitarian and moral grounds and should not be interpreted as an admission of responsibility by the Kuki-Zo community.
According to the statement, the Chairman expressed sorrow and extended condolences to the bereaved families because the bodies of the six victims were recovered from areas inhabited by Kuki-Zo people. The Council emphasized that the gesture reflected Christian values, compassion, and shared human grief, and was never intended as a confession or acknowledgment that the Kuki-Zo community was responsible for the killings.
The KZC further reiterated that no political, social, or community institution representing the Kuki-Zo people had sanctioned, endorsed, or supported the killing of innocent civilians. It maintained that the perpetrators remain unknown and called for a fair, impartial, and credible investigation to establish the facts and bring those responsible to justice.
The Council also urged the authorities to ensure equal justice for all victims of the ongoing conflict, including Kuki-Zo civilians. It called for thorough investigations into the killings of civilians, destruction of villages, attacks on churches, the murder of religious leaders, and other acts of violence, stressing that lasting peace cannot be achieved through selective justice or selective security measures.
