Kohima, July 6: To resolve the Eastern Nagas demand for a separate state, the Government of India, the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO), and Nagaland government are expected to sign a tripartite agreement.
On Wednesday, Chief minister Neiphiu Rio, deputy chief ministers Yanthungo Patton and TR Zeliang, along with the other cabinet ministers, Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament, and the Speaker of the state legislative Assembly met Union Home Minister Amit Shah in Delhi.
Shah said negotiation are ongoing between the Centre and the ENPO.
“Very soon a date will be fixed to hold talks with the state government,” he said.
Shah made it clear to the delegation that the Centre’s proposal on granting an autonomous council or frontier Naga territory status to the Eastern Nagas, will be consulted with the state government and the ENPO, to arrive at a consensus.
The ENPO had also rejected the state government’s July 27, 2011, recommendation to the Centre to form an autonomous council for the eastern districts.
