Myanmar echoes in peace pact
The Telegraph | Nishit Dholabhai | New Delhi, April 21:
On April 9, an Indian militant leader, Y. Wangtin Naga, a Konyak from Mon district of Nagaland, signed a five-point ceasefire agreement with the Myanmar government at Khamti in Sagaing province . Signing a peace pact with the Nagas in northern Myanmar is the first sign of democracy affecting the Northeast.
This week, New Delhi acted apparently in response to the development in Myanmar. The government recognised the rival faction of the NSCN (K) led by Kitovi Zhimomi and Khole Konyak. In June 2011, the Khaplang-led group split, one led by Kughalu Mulatonu and Wangtin, the other by Kitovi and Khole.
Sikri said there were two major spin-offs to the truce — one about Myanmar’s budding democracy and its recognition of federal structure and the NSCN’s willingness to recognise the existence of the Myanmar government. As the Khaplang group recognises the Myanmar government, it strengthens Delhi’s case, which seeks solutions within the Constitution, said Sikri.
