NTC urges GoI to expedite talks with WC

December 10, 2018 | by admin

Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) has urged the government of India neither to delay nor to waste time but to bring the negotiations to its logical conclusion. 

In a representation addressed to the Prime Minister of India, the NTC president, Toniho Yepthomi, and general secretary, Nribemo Ngullie, reminded that on May 19, 2017, the NTC delegation called on him in Delhi to impress upon that not less than six Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) have come together and formed a common platform called Working Committee (WC).  NTC said it had conveyed to prime minister that WC was ready to enter into political negotiation with government of India under your leadership. 

Accordingly, NTC said the prime minister paved the way for the two parties to have the political negotiation. It said negotiation, which literally began in October, 2017, has now completed one full year. 

NTC expressed confidence that during this period of time, both the government of India representative (official negotiator) and the WC have had sincere and intensive business transactions as much as it was required. 

Appreciating the contemplation of government of India to work out an inclusive solution by taking every concerned stakeholder into confidence, NTC said it now believes that the parties have sufficiently done justice to requisite negotiations as much as the Nagas have been voicing their desire to have acceptable and honourable solution to the protracted “Indo-Naga” political problem. NTC said it was therefore time for the government of India to drive the process towards evolving the solution to the political issue in question.
