Manipur's Thadou Tribe Warn Of Disinformation Campaign To Derail Peace Talks
NDTV
On the last day of the Manipur assembly session on August 12, Chief Minister N Biren Singh had said they have been working to invite Thadou and Hmar leaders to Imphal (state capital) for peace talks
Days after the Thadou Tribe Council (TTC) denied any knowledge of Manipur Chief Minister Biren Singh's outreach for peace talks in the violence-hit state, a global body of the Thadou tribe has alleged the TTC is run by "Kuki supremacists" to spread "anti-Thadou disinformation and cause confusion and misunderstanding in the community."
During a discussion and voting on demands for grants on the last day of the Manipur assembly session on August 12, the Chief Minister had said they have been working to invite Thadou and Hmar leaders to Imphal (state capital) for peace talks.
The TTC in a statement on August 14 had alleged Mr Singh's statement in the assembly was an attempt to mislead the people of Manipur. While not denying it wants peace, the TTC said justice and sustainable political solution were mandatory before peace can be secured - indicating it was not ready for talks yet.
