Imphal, July 23:
Claiming that the latest round of talk with the Government of India was a success, the NSCN (IM) today said that Delhi has agreed to hold the next round of talk at Kohima, the capital of Nagaland, to demonstrate its seriousness about the peace parleys.
A statement issued by the Ministry of Information and Publicity of the outfit today said that when the NSCN (IM) delegates suggested that the next round of talk be held at Kohima, the Indian team was caught by surprise.
However the Indian leaders were persuaded to accept the suggestion.
The biggest success achieved in the latest round of talk was the agreement that the Constitution of India would not be imposed on the Nagas and the NSCN too will not insist on their proposed Constitution, added the statement.
Though the talk was declared as successful, its general secretary Th Muivah has warned the people to "Prepare to face any eventuality but in the name of God�.
The NSCN delegates who were in Delhi to talk with the Indian leaders returned to Camp Hebron today, said the statement and added its Chairman held a brief meeting with senior National Workers at the Council's headquarters.
Isak also asked the senior workers to proceed with the 6th Naga Peoples' Consultative Meeting scheduled to be held on July 27 at Hebron.
The outcome of the talk was also briefed to the National workers by both Isak Chisi Swu and Th Muivah.
During the talk with the Indian leaders, Th Muivah charged them of arming the rival Khaplang faction, said the statement and added that this put the Indian team in an awkward situation.
"If you want peace in Nagalim, prove it yourself,� Muivah told the Indian leaders, said the statement.
The General Secretary of the outfit further said that by arming the Khaplang group, the Indian Govt is fomenting trouble in Nagalim by allowing the Khaplang men to kill civilians.
Reverend Shiwoto who was with the NSCN leaders during their stay at Delhi also supported them by praying for the success of the talk, said the statement and added that the closing prayer also exhorted the National workers to prove themselves worthy of the cause they have taken up.
