Factionalism in Nagaland, queering
Times of India | Nirmalya Banerjee, TNN | Feb 20, 2012, 10.43PM IST
The body count is going up in Nagaland, once again. And Delhi may have missed a chance to settle the intractable Naga political issue offered by two years of relative calm in 2009 and 2010 after the signing of the Covenant of Reconciliation (CoR) between three rebel groups - NSCN (I-M), NSCN (Khaplang) and NNC - to end factional feuds.
Though former Union home secretary G K Pillai said in Guwahati recently that the situation in Nagaland is better, with 61 incidents of violence in 2011 as against 64 in 2010, the statistics tell a different story.
Former Nagaland chief minister S C Jamir feels that it is high time the Naga issue is settled. "The nine-point Hydari agreement in 1947 had taken only three days to be drawn up. The 16-point agreement in 1960 was also finalized in three days. But the current negotiations with NSCN(I-M) are continuing for the past 14 years," he pointed out.
