Dimapur, July 19 (EMN): NSCN (IM) on Tuesday stated that there was no documentary evidence appended by the GoI representative and the Naga political groups that talks had concluded on October 31, 2019.
A statement issued by MIP said that a joint statement should have been issued and not a ‘unilateral statement by RN Ravi’ had the Indo-Naga political talks been concluded on October 31, 2019.
“Ravi may have concluded the talks with NNPGs. But that is not the story with NSCN,” it read.
Further, NSCN (IM) accused Ravi of “miserably” failing to work out the competency as per the principle of the Framework Agreement (FA).
“The last paragraph of FA stated ‘the two sides agreed that within this framework agreement details and execution plan will be worked out and implemented shortly’. But sadly, Ravi never picked up the follow up action on competency.
“In fact, after the 31st October, 2019 we had formal talk on the 9th November 2019 and again on the 30th January, 2020. Officially the FA signed on the 3rd August, 2015 had resolved the principle issues and therefore, Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi himself had made known to the world that he had solved the longest insurgency movement in Southeast Asia.
“Accordingly we find in the 3rd paragraph ‘It is a matter of great satisfaction that dialogue between the Government of India and the NSCN has successfully concluded and we are confident it will provide for an enduring inclusive new relationship of peaceful co-existence of the two entities.’
“The sore point is the non-action on competency,” it read.
It stated that it found “no fault” with Modi for taking “extra pride” for solving the Naga political issue.
“But the non-action plan on competency had made the FA a non starter. This is the crux of the delay in the Naga political solution,” it read.
