Naga national flag is not negotiable: Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak-Muivah)

Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak-Muivah) said that Naga national flag is not negotiable.

In its mouthpiece Nagalim voice, NSCN-IM stated, “It is unthinkable for NSCN to accept the Naga national flag as a cultural flag as hinted by the Government of India. Naga National Flag that symbolizes Naga Political identity is not negotiable. "

The editorial of May issue of the “Nagalim Voice” referring to the Framework Agreement signed in August 3, 2015, said that today, NSCN is watching how the Prime Minister Narendra Modi is going to handle Framework Agreement with NSCN and Naga people that he himself took so much pride and credit for that.


“When the high profile Framework Agreement was signed, Modi went histrionic as he called up all political leaders who matter to announce that he has solved the longest running insurgency movement in Southeast Asia. The world at large was, however, not impressed and waited to see how he would match his words with action acceptable to the Naga people.”

“Such was the depravity on the part of the Government of India that every good thing gained during the 25 years of Indo-Naga political talks is facing the risk of going down the drain. The unfortunate development is tantamount to political blackmail. But NSCN is unnerved in the face of such brinkmanship,” it said.

There is a stalemate between the government of India and NSCN-IM over the contentious issue of separate flag and constitution. NSCN-IM has been demanding a separate flag and Constitution which the government of India had rejected.
