The
Meghalaya
Chief
Minister,
D.D.
Lapang
asked
the
Centre
to
go
for
a
tripartite
political
and
development
accord
with
the
Achik
National
Volunteer
Council
(ANVC)
to
bring
the
ongoing
peace
process
to
a
logical
conclusion,
reports
Shillong
Times.
He
also
stated
that
insurgent
outfits
like
United
Liberation
Front
of
Asom
(ULFA),
National
Socialist
Council
of
Nagaland
(NSCN), National Democratic
Front
of
Bodoland
(NDFB)
and
United
People's
Democratic
Solidarity
(UPDS)
are
not
only
supporting
groups
like
Liberation
of
Achik
Elite
Force
(LAEF),
but also providing them arms, ammunition and training.
He
said
that
insurgent
outfits
both
from
the
Northeast
and
adjoining
Bangladesh were also using the peaceful State of Meghalaya both as
temporary
sanctuary
and
corridor.
Lapang
further
claimed
that
both
ANVC
and
Hynniewtrep
National
Liberation
Council
(HNLC)
have
been
largely
neutralised
with
a
sustained
Police
operation.
But
passive
militancy
is
still
a
cause
for
concern,
he
further
added. |
