Dimapur, December 2 (MExN): The Working Committee, Naga National Political Groups (WC, NNPGs) and Government of India (GoI) Interlocutor to Naga Peace talks, R N Ravi and Working Committee, Naga National Political Groups (WC, NNPGs) met at police guest house at Chümoukedima, Dimapur on December 2.
“The hour long interaction between the GOI and WC, NNPGs focussed on tying loose ends as a prelude to imminent solution,” the WC, NNPGs stated in a press release on Wednesday.
In the meeting, the Interlocutor reportedly assured the Naga people through the WC delegation that this is a moment for Nagas to be steadfast and patient since the GoI has consistently conveyed its position that all crucial issues have been resolved with the formal negotiations with Naga groups having successfully concluded on October 31, 2019.
Since solution to the protracted Indo-Naga political issue is not confined to the present state of Nagaland, and while Naga integration will be pursued through democratic political process, the issue of integration cannot stop GoI from announcing Indo-Naga solution, the release stated. However, consultation with neighbouring states remains equally important, it added.
It further stated that the government of India's position is clear and unchanged that negotiations have been completed. “All mutually agreed matters have been taken to a higher table and it is only a matter of timing as to when the GoI deems it appropriate to announce to the Naga people,” it said.
The WC, NNPGs added that it is not the time for Nagas to be apprehensive or nervous. They also cautioned people not ‘to fall prey to desperate interpretations of facts on the ground’.
“What is practical and that which entrenches our history and political right, WC, NNPGs have retained,” they assured and sought solidarity and prayer support from the Naga people.
The WC, NNPGs was led by Convener N Kitovi Zhimomi, and Co- Conveners Zhopra Vero, Isak sumi, Z Hozheto Chophy, Kiumukam, Toshi Walling, P Tikhak, Raitu Chawang and Co-ordinator Alezo Venuh and Secretary Ghukiho T Zhimo, according to the release issued by its Media Cell.
