The NSCN (I-M) on Tuesday accused the Centre of being 바카라insincere바카라 in finding a permanent solution to the seven-decade-old Naga insurgency problem and said the outfit's patience should not be considered its weakness as its 바카라consequences could be disastrous바카라 for both sides.
The Naga insurgent group also claimed the home ministry has issued a directive to the Assam Rifles (AR) to intensify operations against its cadres in a 바카라rude shock바카라 to the group.
In a statement, the NSCN (I-M) said the Naga people's 바카라sincere approach바카라 and search for permanent peace have been touted time and again to suit 바카라India's colonial divide and rule policy바카라 and it reflected in the ongoing peace talks between the group and the central government.
The NSCN (I-M) said the signing of the Framework Agreement on August 3, 2015, to find a permanent solution, is a living document to take the central government and the group through to the final solution.
It said the Nagas have come this far in search of a peaceful solution and what really matters now is the political will to be exercised by the central government to push for the final deal, it said.
바카라But the government of India still continues to waver. This is a sign of weakness and insincerity,바카라 it alleged.
There have been reports that the dialogue between the NSCN (I-M) and the Centre's representatives is making no headway as the outfit has been stuck with its demand for a separate flag and a constitution for Nagaland, which was rejected by the Centre.
Referring to the purported MHA directive to the Assam Rifles, the NSCN (I-M) said the Naga political issue cannot be undermined in such a manner that contradicts the 바카라well-established historical and political rights바카라 of the Naga people spread across Nagaland, Manipur, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Myanmar.
바카라The political right of the Naga people is no longer an issue that necessitated any review,바카라 it said.
The outfit said the framework agreement is a symbol of its olive branch to the government and the desire to live peacefully.
바카라However, this has not been reciprocated with the correct political steps,바카라 it claimed.
The NSCN (I-M) asked the Centre to handle the situation with 바카라great sensitivity and not prodded the Indian security forces and other security agencies to run amok against바카라 it.
바카라In such a situation, NSCN members cannot allow themselves to be sitting ducks. Our patience should not be translated as weak and helpless. The consequences, therefore, will be disastrous for both the parties. This is never in the interest of the ceasefire across Naga areas,바카라 it said.
The framework agreement, which was signed in the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, came after over 80 rounds of negotiations spanning 18 years, with the first breakthrough made in 1997 when the ceasefire agreement was sealed after decades of insurgency in Nagaland which started soon after India's independence in1947.
