Dimapur, July 03 2013:
After a long gap of silence on the Naga political issue both by the Government of India and the NSCN-IM authority, the issue is in the media again.
Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh had reportedly informed Lok Sabha MP from Nagaland CM Chang that " the issue will be solved soon" .
According to a newspaper report here, the Prime Minister had said that the Government of India was "serious about the Naga problem" .
Late last year, the speculations had climaxed to the zenith that the protracted Naga political problem was about to be settled in a few months time.
The speculations were even fueled by the comment of Union Home minister Sushilkumar Shinde who had said that "settlement" to the Naga issue would be brought about by March, 2013 or before the Nagaland assembly elections.
That situation was even buttered it by the concerted show of the now-unheard Joint Legislature Forum (JLF) formed by the 60 MLAs of the Nagaland legislative assembly of the previous tenure to push for the early settlement of the Naga political proble.
Meanwhile, Naga underground leaders have left Nagaland for Thailand to participate in the 'Naga reconciliation' meeting to be convened by Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) .
Leaders from NSCN-Khole/Kitovi, NSCN-IM and those party to the Naga reconciliation process have left Dimapur and the meeting would be held in the next few days.
