Oscar in Bangkok for Naga talks
The volatile situation in the North-Eastern region has compelled the Centre to talk to militant groups.
NEW DELHI: The volatile situation in the North-Eastern region has compelled the Centre to talk to militant groups, even as some of them engage in violence as part of the pressure tactics.
As Union minister Oscar Fernandes left on Friday for Bangkok to get the Naga rebels to renew the ceasefire agreement, it was evident that any political initiative would have to await the completion of the Assam assembly polls.
A political source said Nagas want to discuss territorial claims, but the Centre cannot do it without involving the CMs. It are these compulsions that are behind the Centre's decision to hold another round of talks with a consultative group handpicked by Ulfa despite the fact that it's engaged in violent incidents over the last few days.
It could be touch-and-go for the seven-year ceasefire pact with the NSCN (Isac-Muivah) as the government does not appear to be in a position to commit itself to accelerating the pace of the peace process.
