Optimism in Nagaland after the transfer of R.N. Ravi as Governor of Tamil Nadu
Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma is expected to play a major role in the Naga peace process that ran into trouble after former Nagaland Governor R.N. Ravi allegedly circulated a ‘modified’ version of the Framework Agreement in August 2020.
The agreement was signed between the Centre and the Isak-Muivah faction of the extremist National Socialist Council of Nagaland, or NSCN (I-M), in August 2015. The group had accused Mr. Ravi of doctoring the ‘confidential’ document to make it seem that the Nagas had given up certain demands for a lasting solution to the vexed issue.
Officials in Nagaland said Mr. Sarma and his Nagaland counterpart Neiphiu Rio would be meeting senior NSCN (I-M) leaders, including its general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah in Dimapur, the State’s commercial hub on September 21. Former Special Director of the Intelligence Bureau A.K. Mishra is also expected to be present.
