New Delhi/Dimapur, June 19 2014: The UPA government appointed New Delhi interlocutor for Naga peace talks Ajit Lal is unlikely to be replaced by the Narendra Modi led NDA government.

Sources informed Newmai News Network today that since Ajit Lal who is also the chairman of Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), has good knowledge about the Nagas, so he is unlikely to be replaced.

This news report has cropped up amidst speculations that Ajit Lal may be replaced following a series of quitting of UPA government appointed Governors and also the number of UPA instituted committees being done away by the NDA within a short period.

Ajit Lal succeeded R.S Pandey who had joined the BJP fold to contest in the 16th Lok Sabha election from Bihar three months ago.

Meanwhile, till today there is no fresh development on the resumption of formal talks between the government of India and the NSCN-IM.

There has been hype building up that the formal talks will resume soon and it is likely to see some crucial development.

Both the NSCN-IM and the government sides have not disclosed the precise date of the talks to be resumed.

The NSCN-IM has been saying only 'very soon' .

However, series of 'informal meetings' are going on in New Delhi between the NSCN-IM leaders and the government of India representatives as part of the preparation to resume the long-halted formal talks.
