'Centre's mistake led to Manipur violence'

The recent violence in Manipur and other north eastern states was a fallout of the Centre's 'initial mistake' in agreeing to the geographical limits for the ceasefire with the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (I-M), Assam Governor Lieutenant General (retd) S K Sinha said on Monday.

He also said that influx of people from Bangladesh was primarily responsible for insurgency.

He said that a ceasefire meant cessation of hostilities across the board, adding that ceasefire without geographical boundaries is not the same thing as it being extended to Naga inhabited areas.
