Naga civil bodies have asked the leaders of the Naga resistance movement to drop talks with the Indian government if the peace agreement talks are leading nowhere.
On the 72nd anniversary of the beginning of the Naga movement on Tuesday, celebrated by the Naga resistance movement leaders and the NSCN as the Naga Independence Day, civil bodies held a gathering in Delhi and said that perhaps it is time for a re-look in the matter in case the agreement is heading nowhere.
Present at the meet, under the umbrella wing of the Naga Peoples Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR), were members of the Naga Hohos, along with All Naga Students Association Manipur (ANSAM), United Naga Council (UNC), Naga Women's Union (NWU), Naga Students Union (NSU) and Naga Students Federation (NSF).
Naga Hoho president P Chuba Ozukum said that the Indian government's interlocutor RN Ravi had told them to wait since 2015 when the Framework Agreement was signed, citing that with Congress governments in the neighbouring states, the time is not right. "But now that they have installed BJP governments in all these states, why the delay? If there is no intent, then India's negotiators can head back to New Delhi," said Ozukum.
The move is largely seen as a pressure tactic, as the Centre had asked Naga bodies to opt for "election for solution" ahead of the Naga Assembly elections. UNC leader Gaidon Kamei told DNA that behind the shadows, the leaders and the government are currently working around a few issues, which, when resolved, will lead to the Peace Agreement.
