Manipur Chief Minister N. Biren Singh said on June 25 that the Kuki community was among his own and fresh round of dialogue will be initiated with all stakeholders in the violence-hit State.
Mr. Singh was in Delhi to meet Home Minister Amit Shah where he briefed him “about the evolving situation on the ground in Manipur.” At least 131 people have been killed since ethnic violence between the tribal Kuki and Meitei communities erupted in the State on May 3 displacing 60,000 people.
Speaking to The Hindu, Mr. Singh said he had a detailed discussion with Mr. Shah who advised him to establish peace in the State and revive dialogue across communities including with the women group-the Meira Paibis and civil society organisations.
