Nagaland Governor Rn Ravi

While the Centre is hoping that the appointment of former IB Special Director AK Mishra as interlocutor will restart the Naga peace talks, it hasn't been able to appoint him because former Nagaland Governor RN Ravi is yet to relinquish the position.

The National Socialist Council of Nagaland NSCN(IM) on Wednesday said that Nagaland Governor RN Ravi is desperately trying to criminalize the Naga political movement by questioning the taxation right of the NSCN.

Nagaland Governor RN Ravi, in his Republic day speech, once again attacked the armed rebel groups and a section of the government, accusing them of being in a nexus that was the cause of state's underdevelopment.

RN Ravi, the Nagaland governor and the centre's interlocutor for the Naga talks, on Monday categorically said the central government is "absolutely clear" that there shall be only one national flag and one constitution in the country. The strongly-worded statement comes at a time whenthe armed Naga group NSCN (IM) is sticking to its demand of a sep...

The Neiphiu Rio-led Ruling People's Democratic Alliance in Nagaland has said Governor RN Ravi's Independence Day speech has "not been well-received by the people" of the state. Apart from Mr Rio's party, the Nationalist Democratic Progressive Party or NDPP, the BJP is the other partner in the alliance government.

Days after the Naga armed political group NSCN(IM) sought removal of Nagaland Governor RN Ravi as the interlocutor of the Naga peace talks, a leading Naga civil society organisation has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi not to consider such a move as it would derail the progress already been made so far.

The Prime Minister's Office is "disturbed" over the standoff in the Naga peace talks between Nagaland Governor RN Ravi, who is also the centre's interlocutor, and various rebel groups over the past few months and has asked the Intelligence Bureau chief to take over, top sources have told NDTV.

Two influential Naga civil society groups have complained to Prime Minister Narendra Modi against Nagaland Governor RN Ravi, alleging that he is functioning in an "autocratic" manner and without any regard for what has been achieved in 23 years of peace talks with insurgent group NSCN-IM.

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.

In a damning indictment of the Neiphiu Rio government, Nagaland Governor RN Ravi has said armed gangs are brazenly running their own governments in the state challenging the legitimacy of its elected authority and creating a "crisis of confidence" in the system.

Nagaland Governor RN Ravi was on Monday given additional charge of Meghalaya, a statement issued by the Rashtrapati Bhavan said.

Nagaland Governor RN Ravi, who is also the interlocutor for the talks with Naga insurgent group NSCN-IM, today expressed concern over deterioration of "traditional brotherly relations" between the hill and the valley people in Manipur, saying the vexed issue cannot reach its logical conclusion without taking all neighbors into confidence.

Days after footage of a Naga rebel leader's son and his bride posing with automatic rifles at their Dimapur wedding reception sparked a controversy in Nagaland, the state police today registered a case against them under the Arms Act.

As the deadline for concluding the 22 year long Naga peace talks ends, the central government interlocutor and Nagaland Governor RN Ravi would meet the top leadership of Naga rebel group NSCN(IM), perhaps for one last time to end a deadlock over the contentious issue of a separate Naga flag and constitution and close the final deal.

Nagaland Governor RN Ravi will hold further negotiations with the NSCN(IM) over the next two days to strive for a final settlement by October 31, the deadline originally set for concluding the Naga peace talks.
