Kuki Liberation Army - (Lethaolun) Issues Ultimatum on Manipur Govt Formation
Songpi: Feb 4, 2026
The Kuki Liberation Army–Letkholun (KLA-L), acting in consonance with the collective will, political resolve, and aspirations of the Kuki people, finds it imperative to issue this unequivocal reiteration: no Kuki MLA has the mandate to participate in the formation of a Popular Government in Manipur under the present circumstances.
The position of non-participation is neither arbitrary nor negotiable. It is a conscious, unified political decision born out of sustained injustice, persecution, and the complete erosion of trust in the existing administrative and political framework of the State. Any attempt to undermine or bypass this collective decision amounts to a direct defiance of the people’s will.
In this context, the KLA-L issues a clear and final warning: any Kuki-Zo representative who chooses to participate in the formation of a Popular Government shall be deemed to have acted in betrayal of the collective voice of the Kuki people. Such individuals will do so in their personal capacity and without the consent, approval, or moral authority of the people they claim to represent. The KLA-L will be compelled to initiate decisive and uncompromising measures—political, organizational, and disciplinary—against any individual daring to defy the collective mandate.
Furthermore, any untoward developments arising from such participation shall rest solely and squarely on the shoulders of the participating Kuki MLAs, who must be prepared to bear full responsibility for the consequences of their actions. This is a moment of historic reckoning and the Kuki people will not tolerate opportunism, political convenience, or personal ambition being placed above collective dignity, justice, and survival. The KLA-L remains steadfast in defending the political will of the Kuki people and calls upon all representatives to act with conscience, courage, and accountability.
