Days after claiming that 900 Kuki militants were planning to attack peripheral villages of Imphal valley districts around September 28, the Manipur government retracted its statement and asserted that the likelihood of “any such misadventures by armed groups is minimal and unsubstantiated”.
In a joint statement, Security Advisor Kuldiep Singh and DGP Rajiv Singh on Wednesday said, “In view of recent reactions from different communities regarding the input on the infiltration of 900 trained Kuki militants from Myanmar to carry out attacks on Meiteis on September 28, it is clarified that the input was verified from various sources but could not be substantiated on the ground. There is no current basis to believe in any such input.”
