Central government and NSCN-IM would soon resolve all political issues: Nagaland CM Neiphiu Rio

Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio on Friday said that he is hopeful for both the central government and the NSCN-IM would soon resolve all aspects of Naga political issues.

Rio said that the core committee on Naga political issues has recently met Amit Shah in New Delhi and discussed the Naga peace talk issue.

There are differences on separate flags and the Constitution. The 25-year-old long peace talks are caught in stalemate.


Recently Government of India’s representative for Naga political talks, AK Mishra held talks with Naga political groups.

There was a deadlock as NSCN-IM had refused to sit in talks with then interlocutor and Nagaland governor RN Ravi. Ravi later moved in as Governor of Tamil Nadu.

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.
