Subject : For lasting sustainable peace in North East region of India.
Hon’ble Sir,
The North East Dialogue Forum (NEDF) welcomes any peace initiative undertaken for restoring peace and normalcy and peace accords or peace pacts or framework towards lasting peace agreed upon between Government and one or more groups but since peace concerns and impacts other stakeholders of a larger homogeneous community in a State or more in the North East region, it is urged upon the Government of India to make such accords/pacts/framework for peace transparent by putting the same in the public domain and be engaged in dialogue and wider consultation with a wider constituency and all stakeholders. Only then, can peace become realistic and workable at grass root level and all will put their heads and hearts together to promote and maintain peace at all cost. It is estranged to the people of North East and in particular Assam, Manipur, Nagaland and Arunachal Pradesh about the peace process which is in negotiation without a white paper since 1997 and before and after this year. Therefore, it is the dilemma for the people in this region to effectively contribute to the official peace negotiation. Govt. of India should be honest and sincere in her approach for long lasting peace in the region not piece meal approach.
Therefore we call upon to all the concern in official peace negotiation that it should be transparent and keep space for people to take part in the process for you and for all of us meaning people. Otherwise NEDF, which closely monitoring the human right and peace situation in the region, fear that violent among or between ethnic communities occur which is part of the ethnic clinching and crime against humanity.
It is hoped Sir that you would pay serious attention to our observation and submission and as such, act according for the good and betterment of all.
Thank you.
Yours Sincerely,
U. Nobokishore
Secretary
NEDF
