The NPF emphasized that their attendance was was based on goodwill, with hopes that the meeting would serve as a platform to discuss a roadmap for restoring peace and normalcy in the state.

Additionally, during the discussion, Honreikhui Kashung noted that, as per the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) of Manipur, there had been no official communication from the Election Commission of India (ECI) to the CEO’s office regarding the delimitation process.
