Dimaur, October 28 2012:
NSCN-IM leaders Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah will have a series of crucial consultative meetings with Naga frontal organisations including Naga Hoho and United Naga Council (UNC) on October 30 at Camp Hebron, off Dimapur.
The NSCN-IM leaders are first expected to update the latest position of the talks with New Delhi to the Naga leaders before the 'crucial consultations' .
Sources disclosed Newmai News Network today that all the Naga tribe presidents from Manipur under the aegis of the UNC will arrive at Dimapur on Monday to have the 'home consultations' on Tuesday.
However, it appears that the Naga Hoho and the UNC teams will meet the NSCN-IM leaders separately.
Swu and Muivah had a meeting with top leaders of the NSCN-IM both from the civil and the military set up on October 25 .
Meanwhile, separate sources said the NSCN-IM is expected to ink the would-be settlement within two months i.e either in November or in December.
However, after the October 30 'home consultations' things may become clear on the talk position with the government of India.
The 'home consultations' is not going to be like the usual meetings but 'crucial' in a way that in two months' time both the parties i.e.NSCN-IM and New Delhi are endeavouring to wind up the 15 years long dialogue while settling the vexed Naga political problem.
On August 14, the 'Nagas Independence Day', NSCN-IM chairman Isak Chisi Swu in his speech had said that 'before signing the agreement we will come back to people for consultations." Given this background, many have speculated that the ongoing 'home consultations' are the final consultations by the NSCN-IM leaders with the Naga civil organisatiomns.
"I think this leg of Swu and Muivah may be the last one to Nagaland before signing the historic agreement," a Naga public leader expressed optimistically who does not want to be named.
