Meghalaya DY CM Prestone Tynsong said that the door is always open for HNLC and the talks must continue
The Meghalaya goverment has urged banned militant outfit of the state, Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) to come back and be a part of the talks with the Central and state governments.
Meghalaya Deputy Chief Minister Prestone Tynsong has informed that it is ready to hold talks with the group anywhere outside the state if the outfit desires so.
Making an earnest appeal to the HNLC, Presotne Tynsong said that the government has already made its intentions clear to the HNLC leadership in the one and only formal round of talks held between both the sides so far.
“The formal talks has happened only once, before that so many informal talks had happened even at my level. The formal talks have happened once. In that formal talk, both the central and the state governments have requested the members of the HNLC, to please allow the talks to continue, because the decisions to be taken should be only by the top leaders. From the government side, both Centre and state governments have already appointed interlocutors, from the central government side he has been given full authority,” the deputy CM said speaking to reporters in Shillong.
“What I am trying to tell is whatever we discussed in the last formal meeting we said ok since you cannot say anything right now, go back share with your top leaders and our opinion from the government side (both Centre and state) is very clear, the moment they are ready, please come back the door is open for talks,” Tynsong said urging upon HNLC to continue with the talks and bring peace in the state.
The outfit’s chairman cum commander-in-chief, Bobby Marwein and general secretary-cum-publicity secretary, Sain-kupar Nongtraw had recently expressed their inability to participate in the discussion till the government is ready to drop all pending cases against them and signs a ceasefire agreement.
