Kohima, Oct. 19 (PTI): Lone Rajya Sabha member of Nagaland, KG Kenye, on Saturday urged upon the central government and the Naga negotiators to exert maximum restraint in dealing with the decades-old Naga political issue.
Kenye’s statement came a day after interlocutor for the Naga talks and Nagaland Governor RN Ravi said the Centre has ruled out a separate flag and Constitution for the Nagas as demanded by the NSCN-IM, and made it clear that the endless negotiations with the insurgent group under the shadow of guns are not acceptable.
“Whatever be the contentious issue in the Naga peace talks, it does not worth another war. It is the general public who suffer and bear the brunt,” Kenye said at a function here.
Peace has been elusive for many decades for the Naga people and currently there are significant turns in the ongoing peace process, the Rajya Sabha MP said and appealed to all the stakeholders to take into consideration the yearning of the public.
