Shillong, Sept 24: The Hynniewtrep Achik National Movement (HANM) has urged the HNLC to include the demand for Inner Line Permit (ILP), inclusion of Khasi language and boundary issue in its agenda for the peace talks with the government.

“We urge upon the HNLC to include ILP,  Khasi language in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution and border issue in its agenda for peace talks as these are long pending demands and aspirations of the people of the state,” HANM president Lamphrang Kharbani told reporters while addressing a press conference on Saturday.

Kharbani wanted the state government also to support these issues.

“We feel that the talks would be more meaningful if these issues are being discussed during the tripartite peace dialogue between the Government of India, State government and the HNLC,” he said.

The HANM president said the HNLC was formed with the objective to protect the interest of the indigenous Khasi and Jaintia community and the state as a whole. “Therefore, the peace talks with the state and central government must be for the benefit and interest of  Meghalaya and its people”, he added.
