Imphal, August 06 2015:
Lok Sabha MPs, Dr T Meinya and Thangso Baite and Rajya Sabha MP Md Abdul Salam have jointly submitted a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the backdrop of the Accord signed between the Government of India and the NSCN (IM) on August 3 .
Welcoming the signing of a framework agreement, the MPs however expressed fervent hope that the territorial boundaries of the North East States, particularly Manipur, would not be disturbed while finding a lasting solution to the decades old Naga issue.
The MPs have also demanded the details of the agreement.
The MPs further stated that the public in Manipur are in a state of anxiety on the outcome of the Naga peace Accord.
It will be a grave situation in the region, in case the outcome is against the interest of the neighbouring States, Manipur in particular, added the three MPs.
The Union Government was also reminded that Manipur merged with the Union of India on October 15, 1949 with a clearly defined territorial boundary.
The wish of the people of Manipur is that the Manipur map of 1949 should never be compromised.
