DIMAPUR, MAY 14 (MExN): The Steering Committee and Council of Kilonsers of the Government of the People’s Republic of Nagalim held a meeting today May 14, 2012 where it took the decision to “refrain” from attending the reconciliation meeting to be held at the highest level from 21st May at Chiang Mai, Thailand. According to a press note from Samson Jajo, Chief Principal Secretary, this decision was taken in view of the recent political development wherein the “Khole-Kitovi group has intimated to the Government of India through the MHA Joint Secretary Shambhu Singh to seek settlement within the boundary of the so-called Nagaland state”.
According to the press note, the Joint Council with much regret stated that the said group’s move is a “calculated – deliberate step to sabotage the hard earned 14 years negotiations being held at the highest level of the GOI and the NSCN” and that it was “also an assault on the Reconciliation process”. “The joint council therefore, has decided to refrain from attending the reconciliation meeting to be held at the highest level from 21st May at Chiang Mai, Thailand till clarification is made to the Naga people by the said group”, it stated. The Joint Council was also of the opinion that the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) is required to make its position very clear on the matter.
