The Khasi Jaintia Christian Leaders Forum (KJCLF) has conveyed its appreciation at the announcement that the tripartite peace talks between the central and state governments with the outlawed Hynniewtrep National Liberation Council (HNLC) will begin next month.
The announcement was made yesterday by Chief Minister Conrad K Sangma.
“For the citizens of our state, the yearning and quest for peace has been long, chequered and alternating,” the KJCLF said in a press release today. “The KJCLF recognises and acknowledges the great pace and confident stride of the HNLC as well as of the two other parties involved and prays for the success of this important endeavour.”
The forum expressed a hope that talks will result in purposeful and inclusive peace, justice, security and safety of the state and its people.
