CPI-M demands Centre's intervention in Manipur crisis

Peace talks between the centre and NSCN-IM must continue, party says

PTI | May 18, 2010

CPI-M today demanded central intervention in Manipur to resolve the ongoing crisis arising out of the state government's decision not to allow the NSCN-IM leader Thuingaleng Muivah to enter into the state.

"The Centre should immediately intervene in the situation in Manipur and solve the problem in consultation with the state government," CPI-M central committee member Bijon Dhar told reporters here.

"Peace talks between the centre and NSCN-IM must continue and the ongoing peace process should not be stopped anyway," he said.

Ultimately it was the people in Manipur who were suffering as the price of essential commodities has sky rocketed and even tinned baby food and live saving drugs are not available at their price.

Economic blockade was enforced by various Naga tribal groups since May 6 to protest the Manipur government's decision not to allow Muivah to visit his village in Ukhrul district on the plea that it would create unrest in the state.
