Many of the revolutionary groups of WESEA, who have entered into Peace-Talks with India are now in a situation of between “the Scylla and Charybdis”, it added.
History is testimony to this fact, he said pointed out that, “We have seen failed process of Peace-Talks and agreements fallen apart. We have seen the 9 Point Agreement of 1947, 16 Point Agreement of 1960 and the 1975 Shillong Accord between India and Naga revolutionary and more than 6 years old
Framework Agreement, are meant to trade Naga’s freedom with some material benefits.
Likewise, Mizoram Accord of 1986 and TNV Tripartite Accord of 1988 were the agreements that had destroyed the idea of freedom. Besides, India has snatched away the special autonomy enjoyed by the people of Jammu and Kashmir and kept the region in semi-military rule, it added.
Chaoren wished that peace and unity amongst the people of Manipur in order to march forward for a better Manipur.
