Naga talks : Manipur CM urges people, civil society
Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh on Tuesday urged the people and civil society organisations of the state to maintain calm and peace till the Centre invites stakeholders for consultation to hammer out an amicable solution to the decades-old Naga political problem.
Urging people to have trust in the government, he said that Union Home Minister Amit Shah had assured the state government representatives during the November 10 meeting that all stakeholders would be consulted before inking a final accord with the Nagas.
Shah had also iterated the Centre's firm commitment that anything that is detrimental to Manipur's interest will never be done in the process of bringing a final solution to the Naga issue.
The National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah(NSCN-IM), a major insurgent group in the Northeast, has been pushing for unification of Naga-inhabited areas, a separate flag and constitution - a demand that has been rejected outright by the Centre.
