DIMAPUR, August 17 2026: The Government of India must respect and honour the Framework Agreement in letter and spirit for an honourable and acceptable political agreement, NSCN-IM general secretary Th Muivah reiterated today, addressing the "80th Nagalim Independence Day celebration" at Camp Hebron in Nagaland.

The August 3, 2015 Framework Agreement, signed between the Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) recognised the "two entities" for "peaceful co-existence", Muivah said.

He alleged the Government of India is "betraying the letter and spirit of the Framework Agreement" .

"I remind the Naga people that the Government of India is betraying the letter and spirit of the August 3, 2015, Framework Agreement and the recognised Nagalim National flag and Constitution", Muivah alleged.

The Nagas are not a lost people.

"We have a unique history as sovereign people.

The Indo Naga political agreement must reflect that uniqueness.

The Naga national flag and Constitution are rooted in the recognised Naga sovereignty," he said.

Under the July 11, 2002, Amsterdam Joint Communique and the August 3, 2015, Framework Agreement, the 'new relationship' of sharing sovereign power is between two sovereign entities, the NSCN-IM leader said.

"Our political position is crystal clear.

Our National sovereignty, flag, and Constitution will never be compromised," he added.

He said the final political agreement to be concluded from the ongoing negotiations shall be in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Framework Agreement.

"We stand for an acceptable and honourable political agreement in which sovereign powers, as defined by the Framework Agreement and its competencies," he said.

Any political agreement that does not uphold these National principles is a betrayal of the Nagalim National principle, Muivah said.

"Nagalim took up armed struggle in self-defence against the occupational forces of India and Burma.

With a breach of the letter and spirit of the August 3, 2015 Framework Agreement, India is consciously reverting to a military solution," he alleged.

The NSCN-IM leader said that the Nagas will not accept an imposed agreement or be silent spectators to a military approach.
