Ravi, who had played a key role as an interlocutor between the government and the Isak Muivah-led National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM), said there had been no talks with any armed group in the last eight years if not for surrender.

However, within nine months of the attacks, our then prime minister and Pakistan prime minister signed a joint communique stating both countries were victims of terrorism. What is this?" he asked.
