Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh referred
the peace accord signed between NSCN-IM and Central Government
as a "framework agreement" and said it would help in resolving
the Naga problem. This is the first time that the Government
has used the term "framework agreement" for the peace
accord. Rajnath Singh, who is attending the three-day
DGPs' conference in Rann of Kutch in Gujarat, mentioned
this during the opening session speech he delivered in
the presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and around
250 top Policemen of the country.

R.N Ravi, who is the interlocutor for
Naga peace talks, said "We never said it was a peace accord,
some people loosely refer to it as an accord. It is a
framework agreement and the minor details are still being
worked out. We have agreed on the basic fundamental ground
on which the accord would be signed."

The NSCN-IM said that it and the Centre
have agreed to share "sovereign power for an enduring
and peaceful co-existence of the two entities" in the
framework agreement signed on August 3. A statement issued
by the joint council of the outfit said the agreement
also says "land and its resources of both below and above
the earth totally belong to the Nagas". "The Nagas will
have the right to exercise their sovereign power over
their territories. Nagas are the master of their land.
Our identity needs to be recognized. The government of
India has now recognized the unique identity of the Nagas,
which is a bold step forward," it said.

The NSCN-IM in a 'statement of the joint
council' with regard to the Naga issue stated that Nagas
were placed in a very perilous situation after the NNC
had failed to uphold the national trust by signing the
infamous Shillong Accord in 1975. According to 'MIP',
many of the home authorities of both central and regions,
and Naga Army including unit commanders and commander-in-chief
"gave in" to the enemies betraying the people and their
cause. However, MIP said a few remained committed national
workers under the leadership of Isak Chishi Swu and Th.
Muivah who stood their ground in the face of all odds.
If it was not for these few "revolutionary patriots" led
by the two, MIP said the politics of the Nagas would have
been ended there.
