In 1997, the Union Government of India signed a ceasefire agreement with the NSCNIM (National Socialist Council of Nagaland, Isak & Muivah faction) and started a peace initiative popularly termed as peace talks. Another ceasefire was signed with NSCN-K (National Socialist Council of Nagaland, S. S. Khaplang faction) in 2001 but negotiations failed to move forward.
However, even the negotiations in the last few years have been futile and inconclusive, and since last year there has been a stalemate in the talks, with the NSCN (IM) leadership becoming critical of Nagaland Governor RN Ravi, who is also the interlocutor between the government and the NSCN (IM).
In fact, in August this year, the NSCN (IM) leadership had put out documents related to the framework agreement signed, and had stated that- “According to the papers released by NSCNIM in August, the 2015 agreement laid the ground for a settlement that involved the Indian government and the Nagas “sharing the sovereign power”. The framework was signed to address the Naga identity and sovereignty issues.”
The Naga group alleged that Ravi had “manipulated” the document in his submission to the parliamentary standing committee to suggest that any solution would be within the limits of the Indian Constitution and concerned only the state of Nagaland. On August 14, in a speech to commemorate ‘Naga Independence Day’, NSCNIM chief Thuingaleng Muivah declared Nagas would co-exist, but not merge with India.
In Search of An Honourable Solution
The NSCN (IM) has reiterated that it is looking for an honourable solution, and also added that without a separate flag and constitution, the peace deal with the Centre will not be honourable.
