Imphal, Oct 29: The All Manipur Students Union (AMSU), the largest students body in the state, today thanked the Prime Minister A B Vajpayee for his clear-cut statement that there was no question of changing boundaries of the north eastern states. While talking to reporters in Kohima at the end of his three-day visit to Nagaland, Vajpayee had ruled out the demand for Greater Nagaland saying there was no political consensus for changing boundaries of states in the North-East.
''We thank our Prime Minister for respecting the sentiments of people in Manipur and for his statement that there was no question of changing the boundaries of states in North East," AMSU advisor Chingangbam Chidanand said.
Chidanand said Vajpayee's statement would help bring peace in the region and expressed the hope that insurgent organisations in the region should also respond to Prime Minister's appeal for peace talks.
