Nagaland Post reports that on May 3, bilateral ceasefire agreement between
National Socialist
Council of Nagaland–Khaplang
(NCSN-K)
and the Government
of India (GoI) was
extended for another
year, five days
after it last expired
on April 28. Member
of ceasefire monitoring
group (CFMG) and
kilonser
(minister) H. Vusshe
said that both sides
(GoI and NSCN-K)
came to this agreement
after hectic parleys
over certain “pressing”
and “pertinent”
issues related to
the implementation
of ceasefire ground
rules were agreed
upon. Vusshe, however,
denied the delay
of extension to
the ceasefire on
April 28 with issues
relating to his
organisation’s bilateral
ceasefire agreement
with the Government
of Myanmar. He said
that the GoI representatives
had put up some
queries on this
issue which was
“clearly” spelled
across and clarified
by the NSCN-K.
The kilonser said the GoI was told that talks with Myanmar
Government were
initiated “purely”
in adherence to
the “wishes of Naga
people in that country
who have yearned
for peace with the
authorities there.” |
