Requesting the warring groups in Manipur to maintain peace, Union Minister for Development of North Eastern Region G Kishan Reddy on May 7 said the Central government was ready for talks and settle the issue.
Stating that the Centre was not adamant when it came to people’s welfare, Mr. Reddy said that it even withdrew three Farm Laws when agriculturists demanded the repeal of the controversial regulations.
Riots broke out in Manipur between the Meitei community, which mainly live in Imphal Valley, and the Naga and Kuki tribes who are inhabitants of the hill districts, over the demand of the former for Scheduled Tribe status.
