00:00 In a significant step towards lasting peace, the Union Ministry of Home Affairs, MHA has
00:11 announced a positive development following the recent peace agreement between the United
00:16 National Liberation Front, which is called as UNLF, and the Centre.
00:21 Just last week, approximately 25 leaders and cadre from the National Revolutionary Front,
00:27 Manipur, which is called as NRFM, joined the UNLF, marking a crucial stride towards stability
00:34 in the region.
00:35 Led by Major Boyja, the Vice President of the Army Staff of NRFM, the 25 cadre officially
00:43 surrendered 25 weapons on December 2, symbolizing their commitment to the path of peace.
00:51 The MHA stated that this move by NRFM members following the recent UNLF peace deal, referring
00:57 to the UNLF, reflects a growing trend of renouncing violence.
01:01 The NRFM, formerly known as the United Revolutionary Front, was established on September 11, 2011
01:08 by cadres from three factions of the KCP, a Methi underground outfit.
01:14 Operating from bases in a neighboring country, senior leaders were previously involved in
01:19 violence and extortion across the Manipur valley.
01:23 Damaja expressed optimism that this development could inspire other Methi underground outfits
01:29 to embrace the peace process and pursue their demands democratically.
01:34 The overreaching goal is aligned with the Modi government's vision of creating an insurgency-free
01:39 and prosperous North East.
01:42 The recent peace agreement with UNLF, the oldest insurgent group in the region of Manipur,
01:48 was signed last Wednesday, November 29, bringing an end to a six-decade long armed movement.
01:56 This positive momentum is expected to contribute significantly to the government's efforts
02:01 to restore peace and normalcy in Manipur after the violence erupted.
