Their presence at the Assembly drew attention as the two Kuki-Zo legislators resumed participation in proceedings following the prolonged absence. Chief Minister Yumnam Khemchand Singh welcomed their return, describing it as a positive sign for unity.
Haokholet Kipgen also expressed happiness at being back in the Assembly. Their return was praised as a step toward dialogue and peace, although reactions remained mixed.
The development came despite the Kuki Inpi advising against the MLAs attending the Assembly until demands for a separate administration are met. The organisation's position has added to the differing reactions surrounding the return of the two legislators.
The attendance of Kimneo Haokip Hangshing and Haokholet Kipgen ended more than three years of absence from the Manipur Legislative Assembly, bringing the Kuki-Zo MLAs back into the House amid continuing political and community differences over the conflict.
