According to CMO Media Cell, the delegation, which also included Lok Sabha MP and former Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, pointed out that it has been 20 years since negotiations began and with the State Assembly elections scheduled early next year, it was important that settlement of the Naga political issue was initiated before that. <\/div>\n

In response, Rajnath Singh appreciated the initiative of the Chief Minister and his colleagues for highlighting the need for an early solution and hoped that settlement of the Naga political Issue would be done soon.<\/div>\n

He also stated that most of the substantial issues have been resolved and only symbolic issues needed final resolution. <\/div>\n
