Manipur CM urges insurgents for talks, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar supports
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar advised the CM to ask insurgents to come to talks.
Manipur Chief Minister O Ibobi Singh has made an appeal to the insurgents to come for talks.
"If there is a problem, there must be a solution," Singh was quoted as saying in a release issued by the CM's secretariat today.
Singh made the appeal at an event organised by the Art of Living, Manipur Chapter yesterday. Founder of the Art of Living, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, who was present at the programme, also urged the Chief Minister to ask the insurgents to come to the negotiating table. "Running in the forest will not solve problems," the spiritual guru said.
Before his departure from Imphal this morning, Ravi Shankar told reporters that 20 seats will be reserved for Manipuri students in the Odisha-based Sri Sri University.
