Dimapur, September 20 (MExN): Eight days after the expulsion of its General Secretary Col (Retd) Isak Sumi , the NSCN/GPRN-K Chairman Lt Gen (Retd) Khango Konyak revoked the order on September 20.

Isak Sumi, who was expelled on charges of ‘violation of Yehzabo’, has been reinstated in the same status and position that he held earlier.

“He will also continue to represent NSCN/GPRN (K) as Co-Convenor in the WC, NNPGs,” according to the deed of reconciliation appended by Khango, Isak, N Kitovi Zhimomi Convenor, WC, NNPGs and Yesonu Veyie, Convenor NTC peace mediation committee.

“Internal bickering resulting into split within any group at this crucial juncture amounts to undermining efforts of the negotiators and of the facilitators alike,” the deed stated. Any such action, particularly of the national workers that impedes the process of the negotiation is considered a betrayal to the aspiration of the Nagas, it added.

It was in this regard the September 12 expulsion order of Isak Sumi was revoked on Sunday.

The decision was reportedly taken in the presence of NTC peace mediation team, the Nagaland Gaon Bura Federation (NGBF) and the rest of the WC, NNPG members.

This comes a day after Interlocutor for Naga Peace Talks RN Ravi held a meeting with WC, NNPGs leaders in Dimapur.
