DIMAPUR, November 2 (NNN): NSCN-IM leaders Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah are leaving Camp Hebron (off Dimapur) on November 6 for New Delhi to resume series of talks with the Government of India.
After having had consulted the Naga civil bodies including the Naga Hoho and the United Naga Council (UNC), the two NSCN-IM leaders are all set for a Delhi date with Central leaders.
A source said the NSCN-IM leaders were supposed to leave on November 3 but due to ‘certain assignments’ they have postponed their journey to November 6.
Almost all civil society organizations, including tribe based organizations, have been met by the two NSCN-IM leaders.
Swu and Muivah arrived in Dimapur on October 18 after ‘crucial meetings’ with Central leaders in New Delhi on Naga political talks.
Thuingaleng Muivah upon his arrival to Nagaland has repeatedly said that the would-be Naga settlement will be based on ‘unique Naga history’. He also said that the ‘ball is now in the court of the government of India.’ Muivah had also stated that ‘something good’ is going to come out soon. However, he refused to disclose the likely time of inking an agreement with New Delhi. Muivah also refuted media reports that the NSCN-IM “had accepted” the Constitution of India.
Union home minister Sushil Kumar Shinde had said recently that by March next year, the vexed Naga political problem will be settled, the time when the Nagaland assembly election is due.
