The current peace talks commencing
from August 10, 2016 began as official
level talks and was elevated to political level talks from this time.
HPC(D) leaders on Saturday expressed
optimism that political level talks with
Mizoram Government would find a solution
to the Hmar problem.
HPC(D) leaders, based in neighbouring
Manipur, on condition of anonymity
said that the militant outfit was yet to
decide on the members of the delegation
while confirming that the working president
of the group Lalthalien Hmar would
be in the delegation and would continue
to be the spokesperson.
The HPC(D) leaders expressed optimism
that the peace parleys would make
a headway in bringing amicable solution
to the vexed Hmar problem.
Officials said that former Labour Minister
Lalrinmawia Ralte, recently appointed
as Political Adviser to Chief Minister
was most likely to head the State Government
delegation.
The HPC was demanding a separate
autonomous district council under the
sixth schedule of the Constitution for the
Hmar community concentrated in the
north eastern part of the State adjoining
Manipur, before the accord was signed.
The HPC (D) recently agreed to drop
the demand for autonomy under the sixth
schedule paving the way for solution to
the Hmar imbroglio.-Assam Tribune
