Kuki Zo Council Welcomes President, Appeals for Focus on Kuki-Zo Plight

The Kuki-Zo Council (KZC) has warmly welcomed the President of India, Droupadi Murmu, on her two-day visit to Manipur beginning 11 December 2025.

The Kuki Zo Council urged the President to take note of the humanitarian crisis faced by Kuki Zo people and to use her esteemed office to ensure justice, restoration, and lasting peace in the region.

In a release issued on Wednesday, KZC expressed hope that the President's visit will pave the way for renewed attention to the long-neglected concerns of the tribals of Manipur, particularly the Kuki-Zo people who continue to endure displacement, insecurity, and targeted violence amounting to ethnic cleansing.


" Her presence in the state at this critical juncture carries deep significance and offers hope to many who continue to live with the scars of the ongoing conflict" says KZC.

According to reports, the President will attend an event in Imphal and a programme in the Senapati district.

While acknowledging the engagements of the President , the Kuki-Zo Council expressed its wishes that the President, being a tribal herself, could also visit the Kuki-Zo areas to meet fellow tribal victims who have suffered immensely since the outbreak of violence.

KZC holds President Murmu in high regard, not only as the First Citizen of the nation but also as someone who understands the struggles, dignity, and identity of the tribal communities, stated the release
