Biren had earlier said that he would take "extreme steps" if the proposed Naga peace agreement hurt Manipur's interests. "We will chalk out our line of agitation if the decision to be adopted by the assembly is against the people of Manipur," Sharma added. "Article 371A, which gives special status to Nagaland , should not go beyond the state of Nagaland," said Ph Devan Sharma, president of the All Manipur United Clubs' Organisation (Amuco), one of the organizations up in arms against the proposal. "The Naga peace talks revolve around the demand for the creation of a separate Nagalim, a greater Nagaland comprising Naga-inhabited areas of Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur, by former Naga militant outfits. "The decision to give special status to Naga areas will create a state within a state," said CCSK president Jitendra Ningombam.UCM president Sunil Karam said the settlement will not be accepted at any cost.
