NNPGs end talks with New Delhi

Dimapur, June 4 (EMN): The working committee of the six Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) has ‘suspended all negotiation’ with the government of India until the latter ‘comes clean on the question of haphazard actions of its agencies’. A statement from the group asserted that ‘the raid by Assam Rifles at the residence of V Nagi, the general secretary of NNC (parent body)  and co-convener, working committee had raised the question why Nagas cannot trust the GOI’. “The action of the men in uniform crossed all moral and ethical values and it comes as a deep shock. The NNPG leaders concluded (sic) that it serves no purpose to continue the dialogue since all the progress in the Indo-Naga political negotiations between the two entities appears to be a trivial matter on the part of GOI. The latest action of the Assam Rifles comes across as an insult to all section of Nagas who have come to trust the ongoing Political talks between GOI and NNPGs. “The WC also calls upon the Naga people to be vigilant in the present time because the working committee believes that a cordial atmosphere extended in New Delhi must be ensured equally at Kohima or in any part of Naga homeland. Uniformed men going berserk in Nagaland while talks are on in Delhi shows a betrayal of trust,” it stated.
