Naga Peace Pact

The NSCN(IM) yesterday said talks with the new central interlocutor had "failed to live up to the hype" created and been unable to resolve Naga demands for a separate flag and a Yehzabo (constitution or a chapter in the constitution).

Five years after signing the framework agreement on the Naga peace deal with the Central government, the NSCN (IM) rebel group has said there is "trust deficit" indicating the group's unhappiness with Nagaland Governor and peace interlocutor RN Ravi.

Manipur Chief Minister N Biren Singh said today that he along with his BJP ministers and MLAs, will have to resign if the state's territorial integrity is compromised in the peace pact to be signed between Naga insurgent group NSCN-IM and the Centre.

At a time when the ongoing Naga peace discussions are said to be in its most advanced stage, the main rebel groups involved in the talks, NSCN(IM), has hit out at Union Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju, labeling him "incompetent" to have a take on the future of the talks.

Assam Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi today told Home Minister Rajnath Singh that the Naga peace pact should not harm Assam's interests in any way.

Naga peace pact is only a "formula" for a final accord, Nagaland Chief Minister TR Zeliang today asserted while seeking to allay apprehensions of other northeastern states, and said that he other members of Assembly were even ready to step down to make a new beginning.
