NTC clarifies on news report

EMN Dimapur, August 19 The Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has clarified that the officials of NTC met the Governor of Nagaland and Assam at Raj Bhawan, Kohima on August 17 at 12:30 a.m and had cordial interaction with him including non-declaration of the recent Peace Accord signed between NSCN-IM and Government of India and other pertinent and crucial issues. NTC however, said it did not urge the Governor for implementation of the clauses of the Peace Accord as appeared in a section of the daily local papers on August 18. “The Peace Accord is still confidential and has not been brought to the public domain and as such NTC has nothing to say on it or urge any authority for that matter,” Media Cell, NTC said. The NTC termed the news reference of “The Nagaland Tribes Council urges the Governor for implementation of the clauses of the Peace accord” as purely miss interpretation which is inadvertent error and should be treated null and void.
