Dimapur, January 23, 2011:
With the arrival of NSCN-IM chairman Isak Chisi Swu in New Delhi a couple of days back, the next round of talks between the Government of India and the NSCN-IM involving both Thuingaleng Muivah and Isak Swu are imminent.
A well placed source from the NSCN-IM said that the talks will be held soon.
However, the source did not have precised information about the date of the talks.
"It can be within this month or early next month," the source said.
It is also learnt that the three major Naga underground organisations will meet to sort out differences as part of the ongoing reconciliation process initiated by the Forum for Naga Rconciliation (FNR).
Sources said that the highest ranking leaders of the NSCN/GPRN (NSCN-IM), the NNC/FGN and GPRN/NSCN (NSCN-K) may meet soon.
NSCN-IM chairman Isak Chisi Swu arrived in New Delhi on Friday night from Bangkok.
The arrival of Isak Swu was delayed due to a passport and visa fiasco, a report said.
It may be menitoned that it has been quite sometime since the last dialogue between the NSCN-IM and the Government of India which had been halted for unknown reasons.
The Muivah-home-coming charade last year had kicked up a ruckus with the NSCN-IM spewing fire against New Delhi for its alleged flip-flop stance over the matter.
Further Isak Chisi Swu had been halted in the Phillipines due to a passport problem, a source added.
Another source said that after the envisaged talks, Muivah and Swu may come to Nagaland for reconcliation and consultation programmes.
