Imphal: Hmar Inpui cut ties with the Kuki-Zo Council on July 1, 2026. The split follows a formal resolution passed during the group's 15th Assembly on April 16, 2026. Hmar Inpui General Secretary Immanuel Pulamte and President Rev. Ros Infimate signed the letter confirming the exit.
The group joined the council hoping for a unified political platform for all Zohnathlak tribes in Manipur. They wanted shared leadership for their political goals. Instead, the council drifted. Hmar Inpui leaders stated the organization failed to uphold inclusivity. It did not evolve into the platform they envisioned.
Despite the departure, Hmar Inpui keeps the door cracked. They remain willing to talk if it leads to a truly inclusive political future. "Hmar Inpui said it remained open to broader consultations and constructive engagement to explore possibilities for establishing a genuinely inclusive political platform."
