IMPHAL: Former Nagaland chief minister and senior Congress leader S C Jamir is on a two-day private visit to Manipur.
The visit of Jamir, a member of Congress Working Committee, is being viewed with considerable interests among political observers as the Centre and NSCN-IM are going to enter a crucial stage in peace talks for settlement of Naga issues in Nagaland.
Sources said Jamir, a former governor of Maharashtra, called on Manipur Governor Gurbachan Jagat immediately after arrival yesterday but it was not known what transpired in the meeting.
The main demand of NSCN-IM was, said sources in political parties here, is disintegration of Manipur to merge Naga-inhabited areas with neighbouring Nagaland but it has been rejected by several organisations in Manipur.
Congress sources said Jamir would also meet Manipur chief minister O Ibobi Singh, also a senior Congress leader, before leaving for Nagaland today.
