The demand for a separate flag and constitution arose again in Nagbhoomi

- An agreement was reached with Narendra Modi only five years ago

- NSCN (IM) leader TH Muiva again uttered a different tone

New delhi date. Saturday 15 August 2020

Negotiations between Nagbhoomi Governor RN Ravi and NSCN (IM) General Secretary TH Muiva broke down and Muiva again shouted that we do not want any compromise on the issue of separate flag and constitution of Nagbhoomi. Still, just five years ago, in 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Muiwa of the NSCN (IM) signed the Naga Framework Agreement.

He also claimed that we also demanded the unification of the traditional Nag areas in Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Manipur. Muivani's insistence led to fears that the ongoing reconciliation talks between the government and Nagbhumi's other rebel body, the National Socialist Council of Naglim (NSCN), might derail. The Center had earlier clarified that no region of Assam, Manipur or Arunachal Pradesh would be included in Greater Naglim. Similarly, the central government had earlier rejected the demand for a separate constitution for Nagbhoomi.

Today, on Independence Day, Muiva again demanded a separate flag and a separate constitution. The MoU was drafted by the Central Government and it was hoped that the MoU with NSCN (IM) would be finalized this year. A Defense Ministry spokesperson, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the NSCN (IM) general secretary had also stated that he did not want to hold any talks with Governor Ravi. The agreement was signed by Governor Ravi in ​​2015 and since then the governor has been holding peaceful talks with rebel Nag organizations. The NSCN leaders are currently in Delhi and came to Delhi to hold discussions with intelligence officials. Governor Ravi was also in Delhi on Thursday. He then returned to the kingdom.

Muiva claimed that the 2015 agreement was based on mutual cooperation and shared authority. We never demanded a separate flag or constitution. Governor Ravi made the offer to us.
