New Delhi: While the Indo-Myanmar joint 'Operation Sunrise' was hailed by many, a lawmaker from Manipur has appealed the central government to bring all insurgent groups together for peace talks.
Talking to ETV Bharat a Member of Parliament from Manipur Lorho S Pfoze said, "The joint operation against the insurgent groups are ok, but this is not a permanent solution. The groups may again reunite. Therefore, it's better to bring all the insurgent outfits to the negotiation table."

In the past five months, the armies of India and Myanmar have launched two phases of joint operations along the Myanmar border targeting camps of insurgent groups operating in North East.
Named Operation Sunrise, the strategy is aimed at hitting militant groups that are impacting both India and Myanmar.
The first phase of this operation was launched in February when several camps were destroyed in Myanmar close to the border, both in the north and south closer to Mizoram in India.
