Kohima, Oct 23: The next round of Indo-Naga peace talks between the Government of India and Isak-Muivah faction of National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) to be held within this month at The Hague in Netherlands, will include the vexed and much argued issue- “Sovereignty of Nagalim”.
A report published in a Nagaland based newspaper today quoting NSCN sources from The Hague, said that either party will talk about the points on agenda as Naga talks are unconditional unlike the Bodos of Assam and the Government of India and that the Centre cannot dictate the talks with its agenda.
“Nagas have put down their points for a solution a long time ago and sovereignty is one of those even when two Constitutions overlap a new kind of federation is formed between two independent countries but with some intricate connection and overlap”, the newspaper reported.
The Centre and the NSCN are currently studying the Constitution of India to accommodate the demands of Naga people, the report added.
The Naga outfit has already put forth their demand for federal relationship with the Centre.
Next round of talks would be attended by NSCN chairman Isak Chishi Swu and the outfit’s general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah who will be assisted by their emissary V S Atem and other senior functionaries of the NSCN.
The Government of India would be represented by Oscar Fernandes, Union minister of state, Prime Minister’s interlocutor K. Padmanabhaiah and assisted by officials from Union Home Ministry, top security officials and intelligence agencies.
Nearly 60 rounds of talks had been held between the Centre and the NSCN but nothing concrete solution could be hammered out even after 10 years of ceasefire. After the talks reached a stalemate NSCN wanted the truce to be extended indefinitely subject to progress in the talks since July 31 last year.
