Four Karbi Anglong underground organizations, who recently laid down arms, have stated that due to certain technical snags “on the summary of the proposed written accord”, the peace accord supposed to be signed on February 25 has been deferred.
This was stated in a joint press meeting held at the residence of chairman of the Karbi Longri and NC Hills Liberation Front , P. Dilli also attended by leaders of KLNLF, Karbi People’s Liberation Tigers (KPLT) led by chairman, Donri Kramsa and the KPLT faction led by chairman, Ron Rongpi and United People’s Liberation Army (UPLA).
P. Dilli said, “The peace negotiation with the Central and State government is going on the right track. The talks have not been stopped and it’s continuing. The date for signing of the peace accord has to be deferred due to some technical snags appearing in the draft.”
The organization leaders therefore, advised everyone to not misguide the people in the name of peace accord and also appealed to all political parties, social organizations and student organizations to refrain themselves from passing any comment targeting the groups who are going through the peace procedure with the government.
Dilli further called upon KarbiAnglong Autonomous Council, Assam and Centre to extend their cooperation for accomplishing the signing process. “Not signing the peace accord does not mean it is a failure of the ongoing talks with the Central government. We are very much positive that we can bargain with the government to sign the peace accord,” said KPLT chairman, Ron Rongpi.
