 Digital Desk: A K Mishra, the Centre's emissary for Naga peace talks and a former additional director of the Intelligence Bureau, met with the Isak-Muivah faction of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) in New Delhi on Tuesday to break the stalemate over the decades-old Naga political problem, according to people familiar with the matter.

 

Official talks between the Union government and the Naga outfit are expected to take place in the coming days. According to the sources, the group has expressed a desire to meet with Union Home Minister Amit Shah to discuss the situation.

 

A seven-member delegation from the NSCN-IM, the largest Naga rebel group, is currently in the national capital to restart peace talks that were halted due to a lack of agreement on a few key issues, most notably the recognition of the Naga flag and constitution.

 

Leaders of the NSCN (IM) were unavailable for comment.

Meanwhile, the organisation stated that the time has come for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to meet the Naga people's aspirations in accordance with the August 2015 Framework Agreement (FA) signed between the Centre and the NSCN (IM).

 

In an editorial published in its monthly bulletin on Tuesday, the NSCN (IM) recalled how, seven years ago, Modi inspired hope by declaring that "he has solved the longest insurgency movement in Southeast Asia."

According to the report, the Prime Minister declared the day to be the start of a new era.

 

"The credit he (PM Modi) has taken in bringing about FA should be unambiguously interpreted in order to move forward in resolving the Naga issue." The NSCN's position on FA has been clearly stated numerous times..... "In the name of Naga political solution, the unifying principle of One People, One Nation, symbolised by the God-given Naga Nation Flag, is non-negotiable," the editorial stated.
