WC seeks views for political solution

Nagaland Post | Dimapur, Dec 9 (NPN)

Working Committee (WC) of the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) held a consultative meeting at Niathu Resort with 25 apex Naga tribe organisations, civil society groups, women organisations, indigenous minority tribes etc. to seek views and suggestions for negotiation with the government of India.

Kitovi also informed the gathering that the WC had signed the agreement with the Government of India based on the principle foundation of one “preamble”. He also pointed out that since the government of India had informed the NSCN (I-M) that sovereignty as well as integration were out of question, the same could also be conveyed to the WC. He therefore said that the WC has been holding meetings with various Naga tribe bodies to seek a consensus opinion on the points to be negotiated. “We will first approach the people and seek the agenda and therefore we have approached you to give us your charter of demands”, he added.

He said that unlike the Framework Agreement signed between the Government of India and NSCN (I-M) which is being kept secret, “our agreement is like a preamble and based on principles and talks would be held only under that agreement”.
