CM Biren Singh stated this when asked by a media person in connection with the spreading of unconfirmed information of signing SoO with one of the Meitei-based militant groups with the Government of India.

The query was raised taking the opportunity of foundation stones for the laying ceremony of various projects held at Leitanpekpham Playground, Andro, Imphal East on October 24.

“There is a process of signing SoO with one of the Meitei-based proscribed groups with the Government of India. But whether it was inked or not I don’t have any idea. If such a thing is happened, they should have informed me. But the process is there,” replied CM Biren Singh and further responded that people would be happy if it is being signed as it would help to bring peace.
