SoO not a tool for extortion and unlawful activities, asserts Ibobi during surrender ceremony

IMPHAL, December 15: Altogether 57 militants belonging to 17 different underground outfits surrendered with arms before Manipur Chief Minister Okram Ibobi in a surrender ceremony held today at HQ IGAR (South) at Mantripukhri, Imphal.

Speaking at the function Chief Minister Okram Ibobi stated that the cadres of various extremist outfits entering into peace initiatives is a significant trend and their decision to come back to the mainstream is extremely detrimental to the development of the state.

The Chief Minister assured that the outfit’s initiative for peace would be honoured and the government would also make its best efforts to redress their grievances.

Terming it as very unfortunate the violation of ground rules by some of the groups under SoO which lead to public outcry and criticism, the Chief Minister stated that SoO should not be used as a shield to carry on extortion and unlawful activities. This is against the principle of SoO and cannot be tolerated, he added and appealed to such groups to give up such violations forthwith and cooperate in the larger public interest.

The Chief Minister appealed to all other UG outfits which are not under SoO to shun the path of violence and enter into the peace process for prosperity in the state.

Ibobi also congratulated the HQ IGAR (South) for their efforts to bring back various UG outfits to the mainstream.

DGP Manipur Y Joykumar, Major General UK Gurung, SSP Imphal West L Kailun, officers and jawans of Assam Rifles and Manipur Police were also present during the surrender ceremony.
