NEW DELHI : The troubled border state of Nagaland remained tense before Friday’s planned signing of the Naga Peace Accord, over concerns that the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) may try to derail the peace process if its wishes were not accommodated.
However, on Thursday, the Union home ministry said that the Centre will consult all stakeholders, including the states of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, before arriving at an agreement.
“It is clarified that before any settlement is arrived at with Naga groups, all stakeholders, including states of Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh, will be duly consulted and their concerns will be taken into consideration," the home ministry said.
The NSCN (I-M), a key player in the peace accord, was the primary signatory when it was announced in 2015 under then Union home minister Rajnath Singh. However, it has since played hardball with the Centre, and several of its members have defected to the Naga National Political Groups (NNPG), which became a signatory to the pact in 2017.
Talks to find a lasting solution to the seven-decades-old insurgency problem continued for the fourth consecutive day on Thursday, with the Centre’s interlocutor and Nagaland governor R.N Ravi holding discussions with the NSCN-IM for three hours, PTI reported on Thursday.
“Some NSCN (I-M) leaders through various media platforms are misleading the people with absurd assumptions and presumptions over what they have already agreed with the government of India," the Union home ministry said in statement last week.
While the NNPG is determined to keep the peace accord on track, the NSCN (I-M) has insisted on a separate constitution, flag and integration of all contiguous Naga-inhabited areas under Nagalim (Greater Nagaland), which includes parts of Manipur, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh and Myanmar.
Last week, Ravi had met the primary stakeholders of the Naga society to discuss the “Framework Agreement with the (NSCN I-M) and the agreed position", following which the Centre said that a mutually agreed comprehensive draft settlement, including all the substantive issues and competencies, was ready for inking.

How a cyber attack hampered Hong Kong protesters

Massive public protests taking place in Hong Kong over the past week are aimed at a new extradition law, known as the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance , that would see accused criminals extradited to mainland China to face prosecution. Hongkongers feel the law could be used to legalise the kidnapping of people who express views, and act in ways, that are not popular with the Chinese government . The same law could also be used to extradite tourists and visitors to China who are arrested on suspicion of having committed these crimes. Protesters want the bill scrapped. For now, debate of the legislation has been postponed . Organisers say one million people turned out for the protests, while police estimate the number was around 240,000. Either way, it was a significant number of Hong Kong’s 7.5 million population. Commentators on Twitter remarked on how well organised the protesters were. So, how did they do it? Protesters across the world are using n

Islam Has Massacred Over 669+ Million Non-Muslims Since 622AD

In fact, no ideology has been as genocidal as Islam… Islam has killed more than 5 times the number of people killed by communism. In the total numbers we have updated over 80 million Christians killed by Muslims in 500 years in the Balkan states, Hungary, Ukraine, Russia. Then we have India. The official estimate number of Muslim slaughters of Hindus is 80 million. However, Muslim historian Firistha (b. 1570) wrote (in either Tarikh-i Firishta or  the Gulshan-i Ibrahim) that Muslims slaughtered over 400 million Hindus up to the peak of Islamic rule of India, bringing the Hindu population down from 600 mil to 200 million at the time. With these new additions the Muslim genocide of non-Muslims since the birth of Mohammed would be  over 669 million murders. Islam: The Religion of Genocide Perspective:   Think the Spanish inquisition was bad? More people are killed by Islamists each year than in all 350 years of the Spanish Inquisition* combined.
