No further division of Manipur, asserts CM

The Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi appealed to the insurgents of all hues to eschew the path of violence and join the national mainstream for the overall development of the state. If the people desire he and his Ministerial colleagues will resign any time. The insurgents, other politicians and anti-social elements should be prepared to sacrifice so in the larger interest of the people. He also expressed concern over the increasing instances of kidnappings of government officials and others by some tribal militants who are signatories to the suspension of operations.
Mr. Ibobi said that Manipur is a part of an independent country and as such there is no need for any armed revolution for demanding independence. Further he said that the agitations of the Kuki and the Naga tribals who are demanding carving out their separate states ought to realise that these fantastic demands may become possible only when the sun rises from the west. This hard hitting statement was in response to the series of strikes imposed by the Kuki and the Naga organisations in furtherance of their demands for a separate state and "alternative arrangement" respectively.
