SHILLONG: ANVC-B, the breakaway faction of ANVC, may give April 24 meeting with the government a miss since it is yet to receive any official communication from the State Government in this regard.
The state government has decided to hold a meeting with ANVC-B leaders to discuss the ways and means to rehabilitate the breakaway faction cadres on April 24 since the splinter group was not brought under the ambit of draft peace pact, which was signed in January, 2013.
Stating that the organization came to know about the meeting from media reports, ANVC-B leader Doang D Shira in a statement on Monday said, “Without an official communication, the outfit’s leaders feel that it unsafe to move around as leaders of the organisation were arrested without any rhyme or reason in the past.”
According to him, the outfit’s leaders will attend meeting only if there is an official communication.
It may be mentioned that a ceasefire agreement was signed with ANVC way back in 2004, but the State Government failed to ink any ceasefire agreement with the breakaway group ANVC-B though a draft peace pact was signed by the Government with the parent body in January, 2013.
