Kohima, October 19, 2019:

The Government of India is determined to conclude the Peace Process without delay, and a release issued by the Intelocutor's office has stated that "endless negotiation under the shadow of guns is not acceptable."

As the peace-talks between the Government of India and the Naga leaders seems to be coming to a close, the Government of India has accused one of the primary stakeholders, the NSCN (I-M), of adopting a "procrastinating attitude to delay the settlement".

In the communique issued by the Interlocutor's office, it has been alleged that the NSCN (I-M) has been delaying the talks by raising the issues of a separate Naga national flag and constitution. "They have mischievously dragged in the Framework Agreement and began imputing imaginary contents to it", it was alleged.

In the release, it was alleged that the NSCN (I-M) leaders through various media platforms are misleading the people with absurd assumptions and presumptions over what they have already agreed with the Government of India.

In view of such incidents, Government of India’s Representative and Interlocutor for Naga Peace Talks, R.N Ravi held a detailed consultation meeting with the primary stakeholders of the Naga society on October 18 at the Conference Hall of Hotel Japfü, Kohima-Nagaland.

The meeting was attended by the apex leadership of all the 14 Naga tribes of Nagaland, all the minority non-Naga tribes of Nagaland, the Nagaland Gaon Burhas Federation, the Nagaland Tribes Council, the Church leaders, and Civil Society Organizations.  In the meeting, the Framework Agreement with the (NSCN I-M) and the Agreed Position with the Working Committee of NNPGs were discussed with the leaders.

It was further added that the Government of India is determined to end the peace talks within the "stipulated time."
