No winners in Manipur blockades, says PM
NDTV | PTI | December 3, 2011,
Prime Minister Manmohon Singh today said that there were no winners in the crippling economic blockades that Manipur had faced, while stating there was no plan for a 'supra state' for Nagas in the Northeast.
"There were no winners. The only the losers were the common people," Dr Singh said referring to the economic blockades on two national highways at a public meeting in Imphal on a day's visit to Manipur along with UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi and central ministers.
On recent media reports that the Centre was planning a 'supra state' for Nagas in the Northeast, he said "there is no such proposal. Integrity of Manipur will be protected and the state is an important part of the union."
The public applauded the Prime Minister when he said that the protection of the territorial issue in Manipur was a very 'sensitive one'.
Stating that Manipur needed peace and tranquility for all round development, Dr Singh said "Different communities have been living here for centuries and there should not be any misunderstanding among them."
