NSCN(I-M): no solution under Constitution

Guwahati: The National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) has ruled out accepting any solution to the “Naga problem” under the Indian Constitution. It was reacting to a statement reportedly made by National Security Adviser (NSA) M.K. Narayanan during his recent visit to Nagaland.

Mr. Narayanan reportedly told The Morung Express in an interview at the Raj Bhavan in Kohima on February 16 that “the peace talks between the Government of India and the NSCN (I-M) can take forward movement only if the latter agrees to accept a solution within the broad parameters of the Indian Union.” Mr. Narayanan, however, pointed out that New Delhi was ready to give “broad concessions” to the Nagas once this prerequisite had been met.
