Dimapur, May 12 (MExN):
Naga organizations in Manipur today reiterated their demand to the Home Minister of India P Chidambaram for total 'alternative arrangement' away from Manipur state. "…we are making this submission to reiterate that the Nagas in Manipur will accept nothing short of an alternative arrangement outside the state of Manipur. We further strongly urge your good self to expedite the process for putting the same in place, so that the principles of democracy and Justice are assured to the Nagas," the letter addressed to the Home Minister stated.
United Naga Council, Naga People's Organisation, Committee for Alternative Arrangement, Tangkhul Naga Long, Chandel Naga Peoples' Organisation, Zeliangrong Baudi (Assam, Manipur, Nagaland). Naga Women's Union, All Naga Students' Association Manipur, Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights appended the letter.
The letter said the initiative for tripartite talk proposed by the minister had reinforced 'confidence in the democratic process and fairness of the Government of India towards finding a peaceful solution'.
"It had kept in check the injured sentiments of the Nagas in Manipur from exploding with unpredictable consequences," the letter said.
The "utter lack of response from the Government of India resulting in delay in convening the next round of talk has led to a political limbo for the Nagas in Manipur which does not augur well given the delicate political and social realities obtaining at the ground level," it added.
