Senapati (Manipur), Sept 12 (NNN): The United Naga Council (UNC) will submit a memorandum to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday, demanding the early implementation of the Framework Agreement signed between the Government of India and the NSCN-IM on August 3, 2015, in New Delhi.
Modi will visit Manipur on Saturday. UNC told NNN on Friday that it will submit the memorandum to the Prime Minister through the deputy commissioner of Senapati district. The memorandum contains three issues i.e. on Framework Agreement, on Free Movement Regime (FMR) and on border fencing, according to the UNC leaders. Details of the memorandum are not known as it is yet to be issued to the media.
Meanwhile, regarding the resumption of dialogue on FMR and border fencing issues, the UNC has decided to propose to the government to resume the dialogue in the fourth week of September and that the dialogue should be held in “Naga areas”. The proposal to hold the dialogue in “Naga areas” was pressed when the UNC leaders met the Manipur Governor last month.
It can be mentioned here that the UNC had “temporarily suspended” its indefinite “trade embargo” or economic blockade from 6 pm on September 11, following a written assurance from the government that “there will be prior consultations with the UNC and other stakeholders” before taking up works on the issue. The “trade embargo” was enforced by the UNC on the issues concerning the Free Movement Regime (FMR) and border fencing work.
The decision to suspend the blockade was taken during the “emergency presidential council meeting” on Thursday in UNC office, Senapati.
