National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) on January 26 stated that there were “innumerable violation of Ceasefire Ground Rules (CFGR)” by the Government of India, reports Morung Express. NSCN-IM stated that “its security forces and its intelligence agencies particularly the National Investigation Agency (NIA)”. A press release by NSCN-IM stated that NIA has been “acting with impunity and intensified its activities particularly after the ultimatum served by the GoI interlocutor in July, 2019 and the deliberate rejection of the Framework Agreement principle wherein the sovereign rights of the Naga people to use its national flag and constitution has been officially acknowledged.” It said that the NIA has “taken recourse to India’s Law and Order against the NSCN who is having political dialogue with the GoI.” NSCN-IM also added that “We doubt the sincerity of the GoI in concluding an acceptable and honourable political solution considering its carrot and stick policy. It is only when the GoI starts respecting its commitment, not otherwise, can the political dialogue move forward in the spirit of mutual trust and understanding.”
