New Delhi, March 06, 2010:
The United Committee Manipur welcomes to the peace talks between the NSCN(IM) and Government of India for lasting peace in Nagaland but the body will not agree to any move which would hurt the territorial integrity of Manipur as a result of peace talks.
The UCM, in a statement signed by its IPR secretary Kh Nilamani Kha-Nganba, expressed welcome to giving more autonomy and economic package to Nagaland or sovereignty to Nagaland as a result of the peace talk re-convened after a long gap of time.
The demand of the people of the Nagaland long suffered by insurgency for a long lasting solution is also welcome but UCM will not remain silent if Centre, in the effort to fulfilled the 30-point demands put forward by the NCSN(IM), hurt the sentiment of the people of Manipur, UCM is ready to face the same at any cost.
The double standard attitudes of the leaders of GOI who made contradictory statement in Nagaland and Manipur are well understood by the people of the state.
There is no objection in giving more autonomy or sovereignty to Nagaland or economic package but in fulfilling the expiration of NSCN(IM) but any move to alter territorial boundary of the neighbouring state is not welcomed and Centre should remembered that the Great June Uprising of 2001 and act accordingly in solving the problems in Nagaland.
