Biren Singh opposes peace talks that compromise on territorial integrity of Manipur

The Hindu  

Chief Minister N. Biren Singh on Wednesday insisted that peace talks between the Kuki-Zo people and Meitei people that compromise on Manipur’s territorial integrity would not be accepted, echoing what what Union Home Minister Amit Shah said days ago while campaigning for his party’s candidate at the Inner Manipur seat. Mr. Singh asserted that any such peace talks between the two communities that have been in conflict with each other since May 3 last year must ensure the protection of the “indigenous people”. Speaking at the BJP’s party office in Imphal, Mr. Singh said, “The peace talks should not compromise the territorial integrity of the State and the wellbeing of our indigenous people. On Wednesday, Mr. Singh added, “Modi’s compassion was evident when the Armed Forces Act was lifted from 19 police station areas in the State, considering its impact on the youth and sections of society.” Ever since the conflict began in Manipur, the Kuki-Zo people have increasingly accused the Union government of discriminatory treatment for retaining the AFSPA in the hill districts where they live while lifting it from police stations in the Imphal Valley areas.
