IMPHAL, October 2: A day after it was declared that the Kuki Inpi Manipur has been authorised to initiate talks with the State government on the issue of the three bills passed by the State Assembly on August 31, the apex body of the Kuki community hold talks with the State government today.
The talk initiated to resolve the ongoing tense situation in the State particularly in the hill districts over the three bills however, ended inconclusive today.
KIM secretary Khaimang Chongloi confirmed the meeting with the Chief Minister and said the first dialogue ended without any positive progress.
This is the first dialogue between the government and the KIM since protest erupted in Churachandpur on August 31 against the three bills.
It is learnt that the talk was held at the Chief Minister`™s Secretariat and was attended by an eight member team of KIM and a Chief Minister led government team.
The talk which commenced at 2pm concluded at 5pm, according to sources.
Chongloi said KIM reiterated its stand on the memorandum submitted to the government on September 21.
In the memorandum, KIM had asked the government to bring back the three bills to the table for discussion/negotiations with all the stake holders of both hill and valley communities.
Since the government was not ready to bring back the bills, today`™s talk ended inconclusively, he said.
