Talks are in a very advanced stage and there is a hope of an early breakthrough" .

But some days back the Minister of Home Affairs had stated that the agreement will not affect any of the neighbouring states of Nagaland, which means that if a settlement is made on the line that that the India government wants then the dreams of NSCN-IM leadership will be shattered as the final agreement is not going to fulfil the main demand.

The top priority agenda of the NSCN-IM is the integration of the so call Naga inhabited areas in the NE states of India particularly the areas of Manipur.

The conclusion is still a mystery, as no one is let known the content of the frame agreement signed between the two entities on August 3, 2015 .

The framework agreement was signed with the prime Minister of India Narendra Modi and the collective leadership of NSCN-IM including its general secretary TH.Muivah.

Naga civil societies in Nagaland had earlier opines that without a consensus of all the Naga Stakeholders there cannot be any final solution.

Ravi the Indian Interlocutor of peace talk had series of talk and is all set to talk with left out Naga civil societies and other rebel groups operating in the region.

And moreover the task of framing the final agreement is a daunting one.

It is a sensitive issue as it concerns other north-eastern states like Manipur, Assam and Arunachal Pradesh that have vowed not to part with an inch of their respective territory.

Besides, the other formidable militant group of the NSCN (Khaplang) is not on board.
