NSCN to mount pressure for unification of Naga areas

NEW DELHI, JAN 23 (PTI): As the government prepares for talks on extension of the ceasefire with NSCN (IM) this week, the Naga militant outfit has indicated it will seek to mount pressure for their key demand of unification of Naga-dominated areas during the parleys. “I cannot say anything now. Everything will depend on what the government of India offers in the next round of talks,” convenor of NSCN(IM) ceasefire monitoring cell Phungthing Shimrang told PTI over phone from Nagaland when asked what would be the group’s stand in the proposed talks. The next round of talks between the government and Naga groups will take place between January 27 and January 31 when the six-month ceasefire ends. “Let’s see something comes out from the talks. We hope for the best,” Shimrang, the top leader of the Naga group in the state, said.
