Naga legislators to meet underground leaders

By The Assam Tribune

KOHIMA, March 30 (PTI): The Joint Parliamentary Working Committee (JPWC) of Nagaland Assembly will meet leaders of different underground groups for consultation to find a "common Naga voice" towards finding a lasting settlement to the vexed political conflict, officials said.

The decision was taken at a meeting chaired by Speaker Kiyanilie Peseyie yesterday. The committee discussed the current Naga peace process and adopted a few resolutions asserting that as elected representatives of the people they should facilitate the talks between the Centre and the underground groups, they said.

The resolution, signed by the Speaker, Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and Opposition leader Tokheho Yepthomi, hailed the efforts of the UPA government and the NSCN in resuming the political dialogue.

The all-party member committee, formed last year, reiterated to support the dialogue in "our collective endeavour to bring lasting peace to our land and its people".
