Imphal, Jun 3 : The United Committee, Manipur, today petitioned the governor to “intervene” in the suspension of operations agreement signed between some tribal militant groups and security forces, saying the arrangement has given the outfits a “license” to commit crimes.
In a memorandum to Governor S.S. Sidhu, the president of the committee, K. Lanngamba, said the state welcomed the agreement, taking it as a step towards bringing peace and security to the people. But members of the outfit continued to indulge in “criminal activities”, he said.The army entered into an agreement with more than 10 outfits belonging to the Kuki-Chin-Mizo tribal group from August 2005 to pave the way for talks.
The groups include the Kuki National Army, Kuki Liberation Army, Kuki Revolutionary Army, United Kuki Liberation Front, Kuki National Front (Zougam), Kuki National Front (President), Kuki National Front (Military Council) among others.
Kuki National Front (Samuel), Zomi Revolutionary Army, Hmar Peoples Convention (Democratic), Zoumi Defence Volunteers and the United Socialist Revolutionary Army.
Both the state government and the Centre are working on finalising the ground rules for a formal signing of a ceasefire pact with the militant groups.
