In response to Manipur chief minister N Biren Singh and MLA candidate 46-Saikul (ST) AC, Yamthong Haokip’s claims that SoO groups have threatened BJP workers, the Kuki National Organization (KNO) clarified that the outfit and UPF, the two umbrella organisations, have neither threatened nor pressured any candidate to file nomination papers for the 12th Manipur Assembly elections.

N Biren’s assertion was refuted by KNO’s statement on Friday, which stated that the SoO groups had followed ground rules. “Any untoward incident with evidence matching Hon’ble CM’s and Shri Yamthong Haokip’s allegations should be brought to the attention of KNO and the United People’s Front.” It went on to say that “necessary action will be duly carried out without the use of threats.”

It further stated that, “On 10 February, a democratic and peaceful flag hoisting by Pu Tongmang Haokip (IRS retd) president Kuki People’s Alliance for its candidate Mrs Kimneo Haokip Hangshing took place at Saikul Bazaar. Simultaneously, an equally democratic and peaceful flag hoisting event took place at Ekou Mulam village, barely a couple of kilometres from Saikul Bazaar, where the Hon’ble CM hoisted the BJP flag for candidate, Shri Yamthong Haokip”.
