Centre hopes to woo the NSCN-K leader for talks
The Telegraph | Nishit Dholabhai | New Delhi, Sep 3:
The security establishment at the Centre is keen on tagging Shangnyu Shunwang Khaplang, the Myanmarese leader of the NSCN (K), as an “Indian” — a move which they feel would remove several obstacles from the Naga peace process.
First, Khaplang can be welcomed to Delhi for talks and will also help in reconciliation — with the Centre and also with his estranged friends, Thuingaleng Muivah and Isak Chishi Swu, of the NSCN (I-M). The government is even delving into tribal identities to see if Khaplang is actually a Hemi Naga from northeastern Myanmar or can be called a Konyak.
Bringing Khaplang to the talks could mean several things.
The ageing tribal leader has been unifying Manipur groups like the UNLF and PLA besides Ulfa to challenge Myanmar and Indian forces — a dialogue with him could yield long-term stability in the region. It could also mean the government wants to iron out differences among several Naga rebel groups.
