Rio is in Shillong to attend a special meeting of all the chief ministers of Northeast India, chaired by Union Home Minister Amit Shah.
A parliamentary core committee, involving all-party elected representatives from Nagaland, was formed recently to create a common approach for “One Solution and One Agreement”.
Recently, the committee had made an appeal to the negotiating parties of the Indo-Naga Political dialogue to resume the peace talks with a positive approach of mutual respect by setting aside pre-conditions in the greater interest of the people.
Sources informed that the crucial core committee meeting with the NSCN-IM and the Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) is scheduled to be held very soon.
