The working committee of the Naga National Political Groups has decided to suspend its ongoing talks with the Centre on the Naga political issue following a raid by security personnel at its co-convener’s residence on June 2.
The decision was taken by the group’s working committee in an emergency meeting here on Sunday.
“The raid shows it will serve no purpose to continue the dialogue as all the progress made during the talks between the two entities appear to be a trivial matter for the Union government,” NNPG leaders said in a statement.
‘No negotiations’
The NNPG working committee has decided to suspend all negotiations with the Union government unless it comes clean on the actions of its agencies.
The residence of the working committee’s co-convener Vizosieihou Nagi at Jotsoma village in Kohima district was raided by the security forces on Saturday when he was not in the house. Mr. Nagi is also the general secretary of the NNC-NA (non-accordist), said the statement.
The Centre and the NNPG’s working committee officially began a political dialogue in 2017 to resolve the protracted Naga political issue.
Delhi meet
The next round of talks is scheduled to be held in New Delhi on June 7.
The GPRN/NSCN, Federal Government of Nagaland, Naga National Council (parent body), National People’s Government of Nagaland of the NNC (NA), NSCN (reformation) and Naga National Council/ Government Democratic Republic of Nagaland are part of the NNPG.
