Imphal, November 12, 2019:

Communist Party of India (CPI) General Secretary D Raja on Monday accused the Central Government government of creating "mistrust" by concealing the terms of negotiation with Naga groups.

Raja, speaking during a campaign rally in Manipur, stated that there has not been a discussion on 'Naga peace talks' and accused the BJP of negotiating behind the "people's backs".

Raja also urged the Prime Minister and Home Minister, who have been silent so far, of speaking "the truth" on the issue. The CPI leader further stated that people from the northeast must be treated with dignity and their opinions must be sought, before reaching a final settlement.

Meanwhile, sources have revealed that the two parties still have to work on the competencies and that this task may not be a “cakewalk”. Earlier, Nagaland Governor and Interlocutor R N Ravi said that “some loose ends” have to be tied before reaching a “final agreement” to the decades-old negotiations between the two sides, which began in 1997. Ravi had also made it clear that it would be premature to set a time-frame for concluding the Naga Peace Process.

However, Ravi has asserted that all negotiating parties (government of India, NSCN (I-M) and WC of NNPGs) would strive to conclude the Naga Peace Process as soon as possible.
