Roadmap for NE
morungexpress | December 18 :
The visit of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh along with UPA Chairperson Sonia Gandhi to Imphal, Manipur has only raised more questions about New Delhi’s intent to address not just the Naga political issue but similar problems across the Northeast region. The unfortunate thing is that when you are in Manipur, be sensitive to Meitei sentiment and when in say Assam, you do the same. And not surprisingly with the Manipur Assembly Election early next year, the Naga sentiment was the last thing on the mind of Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi. Then offcourse Nagaland would be the last place that the PM and UPA Chairperson would want to be in because they will ‘not want to comment’ on the issue because any assurance to the Nagas may lead to an upheaval across the region. So if something has to be said on the Indo-Naga political talks, it would be unspecific and ambiguous i.e to keep every one in good humour. The latest visit of the PM and UPA Chairperson to Imphal only reinforces this theory. This is not a good sign for the future prospect of this region.
The numerous ceasefires or negotiations taking place in the NE region must be guided by political will and foresight on the part of the Government of India. The problem is the lack of mission and the utter failure to draw up a road map.
