“Professor Uday Reddy, through his X (formerly known as Twitter) handle @Kautilya33, has consistently presented unbiased views and the authentic history of both the Kuki and Meitei communities of Manipur. His objective and factual discourse has evidently threatened Meitei propagandists who find themselves unable to counter his truths with their misinformation,” stated Thangminjoy.
Thangminjoy further asserted that the actions against Professor Reddy not only infringe upon his freedom of speech but also aim to suppress the educational empowerment of the tribal Kuki community.
The KSO has demanded that authorities withdraw the complaint immediately, highlighting it as a tactic to intimidate voices of truth.
They have called upon all concerned individuals and organizations to stand against such unjust actions and support the rights of all communities in Manipur.
