Amit Shah Vows To End Kuki Militancy Problem In Manipur In 5 Years

Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Wednesday said that the government will hold peace talks with all Kuki militant groups and their issue will be resolved in the next five years.

As the problem of Bodo militancy was solved in neighbouring Assam, no Kuki youth will have to carry arms anymore, Mr Shah said in an election rally in Manipur's Churachandpur district.

Militant outfits such as Kuki National Organisation and United People's Front were demanding a separate state for the Kuki tribe in Manipur. The government has signed a Suspension of Operation (SoO) with them.
