Imphal, July 13, 2013:
A new pressure group named Hill People's Forum of Manipur (HPFM) was formed today for the purpose of initiating political dialogue between the Government and the United People's Front (UPF), one of the two conglomerates of Kuki UG groups under SoO pact.
HPFM was formed in a large public meeting held today at Haipi village, near Keithelmanbi together with leaders of UPF.
UPF information and publicity secretary C Robinson Thadou told The Sangai Express that Kuki people have been suffering a lot because no political dialogue has been initiated between the Government and Kuki armed groups under SoO pact.
The HPFM was set up in the form of a pressure group with leaders from four districts in order lobby with the Government for starting political dialogue between Kuki armed groups and the Government, Robinson said.
