Dimapur, August 11 2011:
NSCN top leaders Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah will arrive at Dimapur on Saturday to grace the 'Naga independence day,' the function which will be a low key affair and confined inside a Church at Camp Hebron.
NSCN MIP secretary Joy said, "The Naga independence day will be a closed door function with the presence of NSCN top leaders Isak Chisi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah." On their arrival at Dimapur airport at about 12.30 pm, the Naga rebel leaders will head for Camp Hebron and have a briefing session with home-based NSCN leaders.
This year's celebration at Camp Hebron will also not feature any invitees from various Naga organizations.
However, Swu and Muivah are most likely to have mass consultative meetings before their departure.
The arrival of Swu and Muivah after a significant parley with Delhi last month has evoked varying speculations.
"The August 14 will be significant for the Nagas as the collective leadership is most likely to make some historical announcement on the progress of the Indo-Naga peace talk," said a source from NSCN steering committee.
The MIP, however, says, "It is too early to expect anything this time from the collective leadership.
We cannot assure that they would make any historical announcement" .
