Imphal, February 08 2013:
The fifth round of tripartite talk involving Government of India, Government of Manipur and United Naga Council over the latter's demand for an alternative arrangement for the Nagas in Manipur outside the Government of Manipur pending settlement of the Indo-Naga issue would be held at office chamber of Deputy Commissioner of Senapati at Senapati District Headquarters on February 12 .
The meeting would commence from 11 am.
Informing this in a statement, President of UNC L Adani recalled that the demand was registered for the first time in the Naga People's Convention held on July 1, 2010 .
Naga People's Convention is the highest decision making platform of the Nagas in Manipur and the demand is based on the unmistakable facts that it is impossible to protect our right to life, land, time-honoured institutions, customary practices and values, land and resources under the Government of Manipur and that our history with it has clearly confirmed the harsh reality that it has never recognized and respected the identity and dignity of the Naga people.
The democratic process of dialogue of the GoI, GoM and the Nagas in Manipur, under the aegis of the UNC was thus initiated by the Government of India in the form of tripartite talk.
Four rounds have since been completed, the last of which was held at Delhi on the 31st August, 2012 .
