Meiteis and Hill Tribes were and will be neighbours: CM

KOHIMA: Nagaland Chief Minister Shurhozelie Liezietsu said Meiteis and the hill tribes of Manipur have been maintaining good neighbourly relations since time immemorial and will continue to be neighbours.
Addressing an election rally at Senapati on Monday morning, the Chief Minister said Meiteis and the hill tribes have no other homeland except the ones they presently occupy.
“As long as this planet exists, we shall remain neighbours and so we should learn how to live in peace and harmony as good neighbours,” he said, adding, “Meiteis are more advanced people in all spheres of life and we expect them to play the role of the elder brother by initiating measures to ensure continuity of living together as good neighbours.”
