NSCN-IM has expressed its ‘deep pain’ on the sudden and untimely demise of ‘Go between’ for the Indo-Naga political dialogue Grinder Muivah in Delhi today due to heart failure. He was 57 years old. He was born in Somdal village of Ukhrul district, Manipur to a family whose contribution to the cause of Naga nation is undeniably immense. He is survived by his wife, three sons and a daughter. According to the NSCN-IM, in 1995 the Government of India proposed his name to be a ‘Go between’ for the Indo-Naga political dialogue to which the NSCN agreed upon.
Since then he has been passionately engaged in between the two parties in order to arrive to a logical conclusion to the Indo-Naga political imbroglio, the statement from the NSCN-IM said. “It is hard to accept the fact that he is no more with us at this crucial juncture when his presence is ever more needed. With his demise a vacuum to the political process is being created which will be difficult to fill”.NSCN-IM “with immense love and gratitude” said it saluted the departed soul for the great contribution rendered to the Naga nation. “He will always be fondly remembered. We pray that the departed soul will rest in eternal peace and that the Almighty God will provide abundant love, kindness and give comfort to the grieving family at this time of sorrow,” the NSCN-IM said in its condolence message.
