New Delhi, June 19 2015 :
In a setback for India, Myanmar has refused any more joint military operation against NSCN cadres in the country.
According to sources, Myanmar told National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, who recently visited the country, that they have some "limitations" .
Sources further said that Myanmar told the NSA that while NSCN was confined to border areas, the hot pursuit by the Indian Army forced them to move further inside the country.

The setback for India comes days after Doval, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar and some PMO officials visited Myanmar on June 17 .
It is said that India's proposal did not go down well with Myanmar.
The NSA had informed Myanmar about 25 anti-India cadres.
India was reportedly told to conduct the recent Army operation in 10 km limited area , but the operation spread to as much as 70 km inside Myanmar operation.
The NSA is said to have held comprehensive talks with Myanmarese President U Thein Sein and top defence brass on security cooperation in Myanmar during his visit to the country.
In a pre-dawn cross-border operation recently, elite commandos of the Army in coordination with the Air Force went a few kilometres inside Myanmar territory to destroy two camps of insurgents hiding there after their recent attacks in Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh by suspected NSCN(K) and KYKL groups.
The offensive against the insurgents was launched after the rebels eliminated 18 personnel of the Dogra Regiment in a strike at Paraolon in Chandel district on June 4 .
