Even before the signing of the agreement with NSCN (I-M), Ravi had several rounds of talks with the Manipur Chief Minister.

He said that during his two day visit, apart from political leadership, he had detailed talks with different civil society groups including organizations representing people of Manipur valley, hills, elders of the society and even representatives of Kuki people on the framework agreement. �Efforts were made to remove apprehensions from the minds of the people.
