Demanding the details of the agreement reached on August 3, Gaikhangam who is also the president of Manipur Pradesh Congree Committee, told reporters here yesterday that the peace agreement was made without consulting the neigbouring states of Nagaland "which was very doubtful and also against Indian federalism".
The details of the peace accord, which has been claimed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi as historic achievement of his NDA government, was not given to the public which, he said, had raised suspicion in the mind of the people.
If the accord was in the best interests of the people of the country, details should be declared publicly.
Stating that there were several accords in the country which were declared publicly, the Deputy Chief Minister asked why the Union government failed to announce this accord before the public?
He said Chief Minister Okram Ibobi Singh airdashed to New Delhi yesterday to meet Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh to collect a copy of the said peace accord as the Manipur government could not get details of the same despite submission of requests to the Centre.
