Newmai News Network Senapati | May 3 The tripartite talks on the district creation issue involving the United Naga Council (UNC), the State Government of Manipur and the Central Government are likely to be held early next week. Sources informed Newmai News Network this evening that the “exact date” for the talks will be fixed in a day or two. In the last tripartite talk on March 19 in Senapati it was agreed upon that the “next round of tripartite talks will be resumed within a month’s time at political level”. The one month’s time had lapsed on April 19. Meanwhile, UNC President Gaidon Kamei said the council was "closely observing" whether the Biren Singh Government has wavered from its earlier position. "Let us hope that the Manipur Government does not indulge in double-talks while dealing with the issue," Kamei stated. During the March 19 tripartite talk, “grievances of UNC that led to the imposition of economic blockade were recognised as non-adherence to the four Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and the Government of India’ assurance on the matter”. In that talk, “the Manipur government agreed to start consultation with all stakeholders to redress the same”. Following this, the UNC lifted the four and a half month long economic blockade on the National Highways linking Manipur from the midnight of March 19. In the event of the failure from the part of the Manipur Government to keep its commitment to adhere to the four Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) and assurances, “we have no choice but to initiate necessary movement to defend our rights and lands”, Kamei cautioned. “Our position is clear on the issue. The Government must honour the four MoUs and the assurance to the Nagas on the issue whatever it is,” Kamei asserted adding, “We are not going to compromise our position.” Meanwhile, a separate source said that the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is likely to intimate the Manipur Government and the United Naga Council pertaining to the next tripartite talks by Thursday.
