Governor of Nagaland and interlocutor of Naga Peace Talks RN Ravi stated in Kohima (Kohima District) of Nagaland that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had tasked him to settle the Naga political issue within three months on the principle of equality and mutual respect, reports Nagaland Post on August 16. He also claimed that that all issues have been resolved. Ravi said he saw no reason as to why solution should have to wait for three months, as continuation of the status quo (without solution) as it stood, meant multiple governments with multiple taxations and fear of guns which were unbearable for Nagas and unacceptable to the Government of India. On the issue of integration, he said the negotiating parties understood the sentiments among the neighbouring states and have not opposed to it. Instead, Ravi said the negotiating parties conceded and accepted that it was the legitimate rights of the Naga people to pursue and achieve integration through democratic political process.
