NTC welcomes formation of Parliamentary Core Committee on Naga Political Issue

Dimapur, July 13 (EMN): The Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has welcomed the formation of the Parliamentary Core Committee on Naga Political Issue and urged the government of India (GoI) to have the “political will” to deliver what had been promised without further delay. 

In a press release issued on Tuesday, the NTC also extended its wishes to the Committee in its task as facilitator for Naga peace process, ‘to create atmosphere of peace and prepare landing ground by paving the way for solution in order to fulfil the long-cherished dreams of the people’.

“The on-going negotiation between the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) and the GOI have been going on for the last 24 years without arriving at its logical conclusion creating anxiety, and that the Nagas are impatient now to continue remaining in years of uncertainties,” read the press release.

“There are significant achievements during the process of the political negotiations between the GOI and the NPGs. One such major achievement is apparently the culmination of the political dialogue of the GOI and the NPGs on ‘31st October 2019’ with agreed points for settlement, considering ‘all unresolved matters shall be pursued through democratic political process post-solution’,” it added.

The council went on to state that the GoI and the negotiators for Naga peace talks should be pragmatic in bringing out the desired solution.
