Rijiju appeals all Indian insurgent groups to come mainstream

While flagging of an ambulance service launched by Hindustan Prelab Limited in Guwahati, Rijiju said, "We welcomed those who abjures violence and respects Indian constitution."

"Anybody who gives up violence, we will rehabilitate them. Th centre will provide them special rehabilitation package,"Rijiju said.

The Union minister appealed to the Indian citizens of NSCN-K to come mainstream.

Rijiju said that NSCN-K is a banned organisation and the Centre had banned the organisation by issuing special notification in 2015.

Rijiju further said that, the Centre cannot talk with Myanmarese citizens who are involved with NSCN-K.

The minister said about Khaplang death that, he was the heart and soul of the rebel group and the organisation will be suffered without him.

"The organisation will face difficulties without any leadership. Khaplang was a Myanmar citizen and he had strong influence in Eastern part of Myanmar. Under the influence of Khaplang, many Indian insurgent groups had taken shelter in the neighbouring country. Now all the Indian insurgent groups will face difficulties, " Rijiju said.

On the other hand, the Union minister said that, the ongoing talks with pro-talk faction group of United Liberation Front of Asom (ULFA) is in confidence level.

"Maximum demands and conditions raised by the pro-talk ULFA is a worthy consideration. The Centre is serious to meet a fruitful end over the issue," Rijiju said.

Rijiju said that, the Centre is ready to talk with Paresh Baruah led ULFA (I) in all issues apart from sovereignty.

"We will not talk with anyone in sovereignty," Rijiju said.
