Thingkho Le Malcha (TLM), the prominent mouthpiece of the Kuki Students' Organization, marked its one-year anniversary with the launch of its official website at a ceremony held yesterday at Le Zara Hotel. The event, attended by notable Kukis leaders and student representatives, was a significant milestone for the organization, which has been at the forefront of challenging misleading narratives about the Kuki-Zo community.
The new website, accessible at thingkholemalcha.com, aims to enhance TLM’s capacity to disseminate accurate information and counteract the false reports and biases propagated by certain media outlets. The launch event was graced by Sholet Lhungdim, Kumpipa of Kuki Inpi, who emphasized the importance of truth in both wartime and political contexts. Lhungdim praised TLM's commitment to exposing the truth amid attempts by some to obscure it.
"Despite the attempts to suppress the truth and mislead the public, Thingkho Le Malcha has steadfastly worked to present the real facts and challenge the biased narratives propagated by Meitei-controlled media," Lhungdim stated. He extended his appreciation to the TLM team for their relentless efforts over the past year.
The event also featured a dedicatory prayer by Rev. Dr. J. Lamboi Haokip, and saw a strong turnout from various Kuki student organizations, including the Zomi Students' Federation, Hmar Students' Association, and Zou Sangnaupang Pawlpi. Speakers at the event commended TLM for its role in providing factual reporting and correcting misleading information about the Kukis.
Since its establishment on September 12, 2023, TLM has made a significant impact by debunking several misleading narratives about the Kuki community. Its rigorous fact-checking and reporting have made it a target of Meiteis, leading to an FIR being filed against the publication at Heingang Police Station by those displeased – the Meiteis, with its work. The publication has been pivotal in addressing biased media coverage of the Kuki-Zo community, particularly manipulative, bias and one-sided news coverage of Imphal-based media outlets. The new website is for bolstering TLM’s ability to reach a broader audience and further its mission of promoting truthful and unbiased reporting.
