Dimapur | June 21
NSCN (IM) Chairman Isak Chisi Swu is already in Nagaland and the outfit’s General Secretary Thuigaleng Muivah is also likely to soon come to the state. Isak Chishi Swu had arrived in Dimapur on Wednesday from New Delhi after months of camping in the national capital. The outfit’s General Secretary is likely to come to Dimapur in the latter part of this month, according to a reliable source.
After both leaders have arrived in their camp Hebron, off Dimapur, the Naga militant leaders are likely to carry out consultative meetings with the Naga public leaders and civil societies on the ongoing Naga peace dialogue. “Informal talks are going on continuously with the government of India in New Delhi these days,” said the source.
It can be noted that the Naga apex body, the Naga Hoho had asserted last month that by the end of this year things should be materialized regarding the talks. Fifteen years of dialogue is a long, long period, said the Naga civil body earlier.
It is hopeful that some sort of interim arrangement may arrive from the talks between the NSCN (IM) and New Delhi by the end of this year. Mention may be made that Seven Sisters Post had reported last year that a “Supra State Body” for the Nagas may be the outcome of the talks between the NSCN (IM) and New Delhi.
Seven Sisters Post newspaper had reported last year that the final settlement envisages a “special federal relationship” between India and Nagaland and creation of a “Supra-state Body” for the Nagas of Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh to “preserve, protect and promote their cultural, social and customary practices.
The offer to create a pan-Naga ‘Supra State Body’, instead of the “Greater Nagalim” demanded by the NSCN, has been touted by Indian negotiators as the “second best option for the Naga people”, the report had said. Till date, the NSCN (IM) has not given any official comment on the report.
