NSCN (IM) leaders to leave for Delhi on May 13

The NSCN (IM) Chairman Isak Chishi Swu and the General Secretary, Thuingaleng Muivah will be leaving Dimapur for New Delhi on May 13, Tuesday in connection with the ongoing peace talks. The formal talks are likely to resume next month.

According to well placed sources, Swu and Muivah will leave Dimapur on Tuesday while the ‘advance team’ of the NSCN (IM) will leave Dimapur on Monday, May 12. The NSCN (IM) leaders have been in Nagaland since March 9.

In their two month stay here, the two leaders had signed the Lenten Agreement with the FGN/NNC and the NSCN/GPRN under the aegis of Forum for Naga Reconciliation. Formation of the Naga National Government (NNG) is clearly featured in the Lenten Agreement.

The NNG is a product of the ‘Naga Concordant’. In the March 28 meeting, the NSCN (IM) and the GPRN/NSCN had agreed in principle to the formation of the NNG.
