New Delhi: The National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-Isak Muivah) has said that in the event of failure of the current talks, the organisation is apprehensive that the human rights violations will return in Nagaland.
“In the event of failure of the current talks, we are apprehensive that the human rights violations will return in Nagalan. The Naga people are convinced that this prolonged Indo-Naga political talks should be concluded honourably,” the NSCN-IM said in a note sent to the churches across the country.
After decades of conflict, the Government of India (GoI) and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN-IM) finally resumed political talks in 1997 culminating in the signing of the historic Framework Agreement on August 3, 2015.
“In spite of all these commitments and agreements, the Government of India is trying to backtrack and disown the Framework Agreement by creating situations through the agencies of its surrogate Naga factions, opportunists and the neighbouring people, who are hostile to the cause of the Nagas. The Government of India is buying time.But, the Naga people under the banner of the National Socialist Council of Nagalan stand firm on the historic Framework Agreement signed on August 3, 2015,” the outfit said.
