The United National Liberation Front (UNLF), the oldest militant group in Manipur, signed a peace agreement with the government on Wednesday, Union Home Minister Amit Shah has announced.
“A historic milestone achieved!,” Shah said in a post on X as he lauded Prime Minsiter Narendra Modi-led government’s relentless efforts to establish permanent peace in the Northeast.
“UNLF, the oldest valley-based armed group of Manipur has agreed to renounce violence and join the mainstream. I welcome them to the democratic processes and wish them all the best in their journey on the path of peace and progress,” Shah said.
The home minister observed that the peace agreement signed on Wednesday has marked the end of a six-decade-long armed movement.
“It is a landmark achievement in realising PM @narendramodi Ji's vision of all-inclusive development and providing a better future to the youths in Northeast India,” he said.
