Naga National Political Groups to hold discussion with Centre

Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) will hold discussion with Centre on Naga political issue.

A team of working committee of NNPGs have left for New Delhi on Tuesday.

Recently Nagaland chief minister N Rio had discussion with NSCN-IM.


A functionary of NNPG who do not want to be named told ET, " Talks were by and large concluded in 2019 and we will fine tune the details. "

After almost a year, talks between the government of India and NSCN-IM were held in New Delhi recently.

Former special director of the Intelligence Bureau, AK Mishra and the NSCN (I-M) leadership led by Th Muivah met in Dimapur recently.
Recently, the previous interlocutor of Naga peace talks, Nagaland governor RN Ravi, was shifted to Tamil Nadu.

Ravi and NSCN-IM were at loggerheads on different issues, including the interpretation of the Framework Agreement of 2015. NSCN-IM had earlier opposed Ravi when he inked an agreement with the seven-member Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs). NSCN-IM had last year refused to hold discussions with Ravi and instead chose to have informal discussion with IB officials.

NSCN-IM has been demanding a separate flag and Constitution which the government of India had rejected.
