IMPHAL, November 3: “We should expect a very amicable solution to the best interest of all,” Centre’s interlocutor in its talks with the NSCN (IM) RN Ravi told media persons regarding the outcome of the talks today.

This is the interlocutor’s second visit to the State to consult the Manipur government and civil organizations since the signing of the Framework Agreement between the Centre and the Naga militant group on August 3 in New Delhi in the presence of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi.

RN Ravi landed at the Tulihal Airpot around 11:30 am and went directly to The Classic Grande at Chingmeirong where he met delegates from several CSOs later in the day.

Ravi also had a brief chat with the waiting media persons at the airport, wherein he disclosed that the talk is going on.

“Today I have come over here to consult with the civil societies. I had consulted them in the past; which is an ongoing process and I hope something good comes out of it,” he told media persons.

On further enquiry regarding the Centre’s take on the charter of demands put up by the civil societies during his last visit, the interlocutor said, “When we conversed with each other we don’t have a fix position, we understand each other because most of the problem is on account of mutual misunderstanding.”

“So once we start talking to each other we understand each other’s position and that helps us in coming to a common ground.”

He continued that both sides understand each other better, we are coming closer, the process of consultation is on, and hopefully something should come and something should come fast.”

The trip according to the interlocutor is to bring a consensus to the “political issue” of the Naga militants.

Later in the afternoon, the interlocutor met civil organisations like the All Manupur United Club Organisations, United Committee Manipur and Committee of Civil Societies Kangleipak (CCSK).

Speaking to media persons after the meeting with the interlocutor, UCM president Elangbam Johnson said the civil organisations have reiterated their six demands which was earlier submitted to the interlocutor during his first visit in the month of September.

However, he rued that the interlocutor was ambivalent with regards their demands and declined to spell out the details of the so called “frame work agreement” signed between both the parties.

Nevertheless, on a positive note, the UCM president revealed that Ravi suggested the issue be settled across the negotiating table.

Meanwhile, Dr Y Mani Khuman, president AMUCO, said that the CSO delelegates briefed the interlocutor about the series of anti-social activities carried out by NSCN-IM ever since it signed the peace accord.

He also informed that RN Ravi will be making another visit to the State during the last week of November.

Nagaland : Patton appeals to YTC leaders to attend “Tripartite Talk”

SHAMATOR, Mar 30 (NEPS): Nagaland Home Minister Y Patton said the upcoming “Tripartite Talk” to be held on April 7 at Kohima would be crucial as it was to find amicable and lasting solution to the “Chang and Yimchunger” issues.

Addressing a huge crowd here at Shamator HQ, under Tuensang district Monday, the Minister appealed to the leaders of the Yimchunger Tribal Council (YTC) to attend the “Tripartite talk” to be held on April 7 next month at state capital, Kohima.
Reminding that the government and its machineries had been making every possible effort to see that all their Chang and Yimchunger brothers live peacefully as they had been living as one family, Patton said, “I make this special request to YTC leaders that please come and attend the upcoming tripartite talk and share your problems there. After sharing with whatever you have in your mind, we will take decision as to how we will move forward for amicable and lasting solution to your problems.”

It may be mentioned that YTC did not give their green signal for attending the “Tripartite talk” but after Home Minister made a special request during the public meeting today, they had reportedly hinted their willingness to attend the talk. The “Tripartite talk” to be held with the two tribes – The Chang and the Yimchunger – to find amicable and lasting solution to their problems has been initiated by the state government.
The Minister also appreciated the various mass based civil societies including Chang Khulie Setshang (CKS) and YTC, church leaders, police, district administration and individuals for bringing normalcy in the Tuensang district.

Patton said he was unhappy with the recent development within the NSCN (K) and further called upon all the Naga national workers for “reconciliation and unity” among them. “Without unity, we cannot achieve a lasting and permanent peace in our land,” he said.
MLA and Parliamentary Secretary for CAWD, Economics & Statistics R. Tohanba, Deputy Speaker NLA, Levi Rengma, Tokiumong, DIG (R/NAP), Tuensang, RV Ezung, SP, Tuensang, Rhovisie, Commandant, 3rd NAP, Tuensang were among others who accompanied the Home Minister.

Peace talk signatory URF picks up arms once again

IMPHAL, October 2: The United Revolutionary Front, URF said the outfit is left with no other option other than quit the Memorandum of Understanding signed with both the State and Central governments and picked up arms once again.

A press statement signed by the outfit`™s chairman Lanheiba Meitei said that its cadres have been instructed to keep vigilant against any instigation.

The statement from the outfit`™s chairman Lanheiba Meitei said picking up arms once again has been necessitated in order to defend one`™s own rights and this has today become the only means to defend one`™s own identity.

The outfit had signed the Memorandum of Understanding with both the State and Centre on February 13, 2013.

The statement continued that since its formation, the outfit has been trying to unite the small revolutionary groups of Manipur and form a unified force.

It said the outfit was formed by seven smaller outfits on a common platform and has its own set rules and regulations.

It said on February 13, 2013 the outfit signed for peace-talks with both the State and Central governments.

Before the signing of the peace deal, the outfit had made several appeals for the welfare of the people to the representatives of both the State and the Centre, it said.

However, after the talk, both the governments seem to have forgotten their assurances, it said before asking how long a peace deal where the signatories are trying to pick faults with one another can last.

The Centre may not know, but the State government considers the signing of the MoU as a mass surrender, it said.

It continued that before the signing of the MoU, drafts were exchanged three times following which the MoU was signed at the Banquet hall of the 1st MR on February 13, 2013.

It said 90 cadres along with 50 weapons had arrived along with their leaders for the signing of the MoU.

However, the scene at the banquet hall was totally different from what the URF had reckoned, it said.

With much cajoling, the outfit managed to make the government take down the `Home coming ceremony` banner from the venue.

Further charging that the outfit was cajoled into signing the agreement, it said when the agreement was about to be signed, the outfit had checked on the agreement but found it to be different from the agreements reached beforehand.

But after much cajoling from the side of the government, the URF leaders were made to signed the agreement, it further said.

Now, whenever any complaint is made, it is denied stating that it is not in the agreement.

It further claimed that a person who had signed the peace treaty has not been even pardoned of previous cases and made to appear twice every month before the NIA Guwahati court.

The statement further said that it condemns and disapproves the government`™s act to completely crush an outfit and further demanded to immediately stop barricading police commandos at the Loitongkhunou camp of the URF.
