Former Chief Minister Mukul Sangma on Monday said the MDA government should learn from the past while dealing with militant organizations.
Speaking to reporters, Sangma said, “When we are dealing with organizations proscribed or otherwise also, I think we should learn from the past.
We try to ensure that the whole exhaustive due diligence is done in such a manner that we build that kind of trust and confidence and we ensure that there is no scope for any disconnect that we are able to really proceed as intended to ultimately give fruition to the real intent.”
The HNLC has recently pulled out of the peace talks.
He said it was based on this approach that the then Congress government had signed the agreement with the disbanded ANVC and ANVC.B.
“We have done it earlier, we have successfully completed and implemented though some of the measures required to be taken by the government after the text settlement agreements are yet to be implemented by the government of the day. These are concerns. If you have implemented those issues, maybe those issues could have been clubbed together and those issues could have come as a healthy point of deliberation and discussion and arrive at some kind of a solution,” Sangma said.
“If the government is not implementing those other points which we have agreed upon in the text settlement agreement which was signed in my presence on September 24, 2014, why are we implementing this programme?” he said. He said, “this whole mandate of this agreement is the responsibility of the government of the day to see that we are honest to what we have committed, which have been committed and given shape in form of writings, where we have put our hands together.these are important.”
“Therefore, the trust deficit and other things can be effectively handled if you already have something to show them as a precedent of your honesty, integrity in respect of implementing what we promised,” he added.
