Centre invites Manipur MLAs across Meitei, Kuki-Zo, Naga communities for meeting

The Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has invited MLAs from all the three communities — Meitei, Kuki-Zo and Naga — of Manipur for a meeting on Tuesday (October 15, 2024). This is the first time the government has called such a meeting.

The meeting is being convened by the Intelligence Bureau, a source said, and no formal agenda has been shared with the MLAs.

The meeting comes nearly a month after Union Home Minister Amit Shah said at a press conference on September 17 that resolving the situation in Manipur requires dialogue between the Kuki-Zo and the Meitei communities, and Centre is in discussion with both the groups.
