National Socialist Council of Nagaland-Isak-Muivah (NSCN-IM) has demanded Indian Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi to appoint a new Interlocutor for the Indo-Naga peace talks, reports The Sangai Express on August 22. In a letter to PM, NSCN-IM mentioned that under no circumstances will a Governor be accepted as an Interlocutor. After the appointment of the existing Interlocutor as the Governor, the rebel group has demanded a new Interlocutor in his place.
Separately, top leadership of NSCN-IM had a series of consultations and meetings with Tribal Bodies and Civil Organisations, reports Northeast Today on August 21. The leaders are also expected to have further dialogue with the Centre’s Interlocutor and Governor, R N Ravi.
