Nagaland Post | Tinakali Sumi | Kohima, Dec 7
Pursuing with efforts to get all stakeholders on board for a broad-based agreement within the concept of the ‘framework agreement’ signed between the government of India’s Interlocutor and the NSCN(I-M) leadership, R.N.Ravi who is also the Interlocutor, held separate consultative meetings of GPRN/NSCN and Singnya-led NNC/FGN, Monday at Chumukedima Police Complex.
NP: You have also made it clear that sovereignty (total independence) is out also ruled out integration of all Naga inhabited areas. What are the other points being discussed and negotiated between the two sides?
Ravi: Political concepts evolve through the ages. They acquire newer meanings and perspectives with time. The concepts of ‘Sovereignty’ and ‘Integration’ also have to be understood and appreciated in the contemporary context. Before advent of democracy, the sovereignty was personified in king, monarch, dictator etc. Democracy has upended the concept. It is universally agreed principle that in a democracy, sovereignty lies with the people. There is no question of Naga people giving up sovereignty. Integration too has several facets. Social, cultural and linguistic integration can be effected through administrative actions and institutions. Political integration can only be pursued through a democratic process.
