Naga Common Platform Passes Three Resolutions Pressing for Early Indo‑Naga Settlement

Overview

• The Naga Common Platform unanimously urged the Centre and Naga negotiators to deliver an early, comprehensive solution to the decades‑long issue on the basis of the two signed instruments.
• The event, held at Agri Expo in Chümoukedima and organised by the Nagaland Gaonbura Federation Peace Committee with allied civil‑society groups, affirmed support for both the 2015 and 2017 agreements.
• Reports differed on turnout, with one account noting thousands at the venue and another describing hundreds carrying placards calling for a settlement.
• The Nagaland Tribal Hohos Coordination Committee abstained, cautioning that a parallel platform could undercut ongoing reconciliation efforts among stakeholders.
• Speakers, including K K Sema, highlighted fragmentation, multiple illicit tax collections and opaque talks, and appealed to the NSCN to speak transparently to the public after 28 years of negotiations.
