evidence: A collective of Kuki tribal groups in Manipur dismissed the government's alert about the influx of militants from Myanmar as "preposterous" and an attempt to perpetuate biassed ethno-centric narrative. [...] A collective of Kuki tribal groups in Manipur on Saturday dismissed the government's alert about the influx of Kuki militants from Myanmar and possible militant attacks on villages on the periphery of Imphal Valley. [...] The statement by the apex body of the Kuki tribal groups in Manipur, the Committee on Tribal Unity (COTU), came a day after the security advisor to the state government, Kuldiep Singh, claimed that over 900 militants had entered Manipur from neighbouring Myanmar with plans to attack peripheral villages of the rival community around September 28.
