Members of the Naga National Council declared independence from the British on August 14, 1947, to be recognized as a separate nation from India.
Digital Desk: The National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak Muivah (NSCN-IM) has stated that it will not abandon its primary demands for a separate Nagaland flag and constitution.
Earlier in April, the Centre told NSCN-IM through its interlocutor SK Mishra that it would only allow a separate flag for cultural activities.
Though a framework agreement was signed in 2015 between the Centre and the NSCN-IM to end the decades-long insurgency in Nagaland and to address the demand for a sovereign Nagaland comprising areas of Assam, Manipur, Arunachal Pradesh, and Myanmar, the peace process stalled as the NSCN-IM continued to press for a separate flag and constitution.
Thuingaleng Muivah, leader of the NSCM-IM, stated on Monday, "The Naga flag and constitution are inseparable parts of the recognized sovereignty and unique history." We believe Indian leaders understand it as well.
He stated that the ball was now in the government of India's court to make the right decision and fulfill the commitment made to the Nagas, adding that a ceasefire without political negotiations was meaningless.
Members of the Naga National Council — the parent body of the NSCN-IM — declared independence from the British on August 14, 1947, in order to be recognized as a separate nation from India. Since then, the organization has observed Naga Independence Day on August 14.
The people of Nagaland have been waiting for a resolution to the Naga conflict, according to Nephiu Rio, the chief minister of Nagaland, who spoke at the 76th Independence Day celebration in Kohima.
