NSCN(I-M) flays NSA's statement on Naga peace talks 

Kohima, Feb 27: The NSCN (I-M) has taken strong exception to National Security Adviser M K Narayanan's reported statement on Naga peace talks, alleging that the Centre was speaking in different tunes thus sending a 'diabolical' message on the ongoing peace process. 

Criticising the NSA's recent statement that the peace talks had slowed down and it could move forward if only the NSCN (I-M) agreed to broad parameters under the Indian Union, the outfit termed the remarks at a time when the peace talks have entered a crucial phase as 'irresponsible'. 

In a statement ahead of the Prime Minister's visit to Kohima in connection with the Assembly election, the NSCN (I-M) yesterday said the NSA's remark was a reflection of the Congress party's future scheme of political arrangement on the Indo-Naga issue. 

The ceasefire between the NSCN (I-M) and the Centre completed 10 years and during this period over 50 rounds of talks were held for finding an acceptable and honourable solution to the Naga political conflict. 

NSCN (I-M) has already asked its cadre not to involve in any way with the poll.
