Dimapur, January 07 2010:
The National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) led by SS Khaplang has said that it will never hold talks with the Government of India unless all the Naga underground factions come under one roof.
The NSCN-K also said that no faction can represent the Nagas while negotiating with the GOI.
The NSCN-K leaders said this on the sideline of the routine meeting of the outfit and the Government's Ceasefire Monitoring Group (CFMG) in Dimapur yesterday.
On the other hand, CFMG chairman Lieutenant General Mandhata Singh has said that given the prevailing peaceful atmosphere the solution to the Naga political issue is no more a distant thing.
The CFMG chief was pointing at the relative peace in Naga areas where factional clashes have been minimum for the last few months after the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) has begun its initiative.
Mandhata Singh then discouraged underground factions on the collections of 'taxes' so that the general public will face less hardship.
