The meeting discussed the recent joint memorandum submitted by the UPF and KNO to Union Home Minister Amit Shah on the alleged disruptive activities of Thanglianpao, president ZRO.
The Centre conveyed that the Government of India has taken serious note of his activities and hence he will not be a signatory in the extension of the SoO agreement.
MHA has also launched an inquiry on him and until his case resolved he will not be entertained as a signatory in any matter related to the SoO and the political dialogue.
In a joint memorandum, UPF and KNO claimed that Thanglianpao is not an Indian citizen.
He was born and brought up at Pangmual, a border village on the India Myanmar border.
He was elected MP from the National League for Democracy in Myanmar and therefore has no right to be a part of peace negotiation with the Government of India and Government of Manipur.
