Manipur Partings
Seven Sisters Post Opinion | Apr 20
The United Naga Council (UNC) has issued a statement that calls for a “peaceful parting” between the Nagas and the Meiteis. While the Centre is toying with various options around the supra-state body formula for solving the Naga problem (that was first reported by Seven Sisters Post), the Naga organisations in Manipur are determined that their writ will run over the Naga-inhabited areas of the state, whatever the constitution arrangements.
But the tenor of the UNC statement will only aggravate the tense situation in Manipur because it threatens a break-up of the tiny state, a prospect no Meitei will be prepared to accept. The Centre has made it absolutely clear that Manipur’s territorial integrity — or Assam’s and Arunachal Pradesh’s for that matter — cannot be undermined to solve the Naga problem. It is therefor time for the NSCN and other responsible Naga civil society groups to lay bare their cards on the table and state in they are willing to accept a solution without a “Greater Nagalim” that will mean slicing up of existing states like Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh.
