The Chairman of Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC) and interlocutor for the Naga peace-talks, Mr R. N. Ravi on February 10 said that ongoing economic blockade in Manipur may have an impact on the peace-talks, reports Asian Age. JIC Chairman RN Ravi said, “The Naga issue can’t be dealt in political isolation. Naga neighbours are important stakeholders. A durable solution is not possible by disregarding neighbours’ sentiment and confrontational attitude towards them.” The news report further adds that over the stubborn attitude displayed by the Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak- Muivah (NSCN-IM) over Manipur, Mr Ravi had said, “It is bound to impact the tenor and character of further talks with NSCN-IM.”Notably, the Manipur based United Naga Council (UNC) is spearheading the economic blockade in the State for over three months and two rounds of meetings with the stakeholders to resolve the crisis has failed to elicit any result. UNC is protesting against creation of seven new Districts in the State of Manipur.

Eight days after Union Home Minister (UHM) Rajnath Singh announced ‘sustained dialogue’ on Jammu and Kashmir and appointed former Intelligence Bureau (IB) Director Dineshwar Sharma as Centre’s representative, the Kashmir separatists on October 31 dismissed the talks offer as futile exercise, reports Daily Excelsior. The three top separatist leaders of Valley including Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Syed Ali Shah Geelani and Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on October 31, in a joint statement, said the Government of India is continuously refusing to acknowledge Jammu and Kashmir as a dispute which, they said, is ‘basic premises’ for talks. “In principle, the (separatist) leadership always advocated and supported sincere and productive dialogue as a means of conflict resolution over Jammu and Kashmir. What it inherently entails from all participants to dialogue is the basic acknowledgment that there is a dispute that has to be resolved. But Government of India continuously refuses to accept this basic premise and the reality on the ground,” said the separatist trio in the statement. The decision to dismiss the talks offer was taken after a joint meeting of Geelani, Mirwaiz and Malik at former’s Hyderpora residence in Sri Nagar.

"Three meetings were held. Recently, the NLFT-BM has declared new leaders (Subir Debbarma in May this year). They are talking on lines similar to the IPFT (Indigenous People’s Front of Tripura], a party demanding a separate state for indigenous communities in Tripura," he said, adding that the chief secretary wrote to the Centre but did not receive any reply from Delhi.
