BJP will initiate talks with all underground groups, establish peace in Manipur: Shah
The HinduUnion Home Minister Amit Shah Tuesday pledged to establish peace in Manipur by initiating talks with all underground groups operating in the State. The statement of support claimed that as the Union Home Minister and the BJP leadership have promised “swift settlement of Kuki aspirations”, the outfit will support all BJP candidates for the upcoming Assembly polls, and warned that acting against its appeal would be seen as “acting against Kuki interests”. Hitting out at the Congress, Mr. Shah said the party had failed to provide basic amenities when it was in power in Manipur, where electricity was earlier available “for just five to six hours a day”. The Congress had divided the State by “creating tension within different communities”, while the BJP has deep respect for the Manipur’s culture and identity, Mr. Shah said.
