NEW
DELHI: The central government's interlocutor for the Naga peace talks
RN Ravi is expected to visit Nagaland soon to take ahead the final
accord and is likely to meet leaders of other factions of the NSCN,
including NSCN (Khole-Kitovi), a source close to the entire peace
process has said.
"RN Ravi will soon be travelling to Nagaland.
He is likely to meet the other factions of the NSCN. This is part of
the government's efforts to convince other factions, including NSCN
(Khole-Kitovi), apart from the NSCN(I-M), to join the peace process,"
the source said.
According to the source, the peace accord
signed between the central government and the National Socialist Council
of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) (NSCN(I-M)) on August 3 was a wider framework
under which efforts were on to bring all factions of the NSCN onboard.
At a press conference on Sunday, Nagaland chief minister TR Zeliang
said a delegation of 16 members from the Naga Hoho, the apex body of all
Naga tribes, and the Eastern Nagaland Peoples' Organization (ENPO) have
got security clearance to visit Myanmar and hold talks with NSCN
(Khaplang) chief SS Khaplang.
The NSCN(K) had abrogated its
15-year-old ceasefire with the government in March this year and carried
out two attacks on the Indian Army in Nagaland and Manipur.
The historic Naga accord promises to bring peace in the northeastern state ravaged by violence for over six decades.
