Leishemba Sanajaoba says Naga talks must conclude peacefully

Ukhrul: The maiden visit of the new Rajya Sabha parliamentarian, Leishemba Sanajaoba to Ukhrul Hungpung appears to have ticked the right boxes on question of the vexed ongoing peace talk between the Centre and NSCN IM.

The titular king of Manipur in an exclusive interview with EastMojo correspondent, Vangamla Salle K S for Manipur, said “the ongoing peace talks between the government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) must conclude peacefully”.

In the interview, the King said that “Naga peace talks must have a destination but the final solution shouldn’t create any kind of unwanted trouble, both in the hills and the valley. It should not hurt the feelings of the people in the state”, he added.

The “struggles”, he said, “by the Nagas have been going on over 60 years now and the final agreement between the Centre and the NSCN-IM should be a peaceful and long-lasting one” he said, while adding that “The Indo-Naga peace process was started peacefully and the final solution must not end in any violence but all the stakeholders involved in the talks should find a way for a peaceful and final agreement,” said the MP, Leishemba Sanajaoba.

“I pray to God that Naga peace talks will be handed over in a peaceful manner,” added Maharaja Leishemba Sanajaoba.
