New Delhi: Taking a tough stand, the government on Tuesday  cancelled its ceasefire agreement with dominant Naga insurgent group NSCN (Khaplang) and decided not to engage with it in future.
“The government has decided not to engage with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Khaplang) [NSCN/K] any longer and therefore the earlier ceasefire agreement with NSCN/K is no longer valid,” a Home Ministry statement said.
The Ministry has not clarified the reasons for break down of the talks and cancellation of the ceasefire pact.
However, sources said, the decision has been taken in view of the NSCN-K’s involvement in insurgent activities, violating the ground rules of the ceasefire.
Meanwhile, the Centre has signed a ceasefire agreement with the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Reformation) [NSCN/R] for a period of one year.
The pact was signed by Joint Secretary in the Home Ministry Shambhu Singh and co-conveners on behalf of NSCN/R Wangtin Konyak and P Tikhak, an official release said.
The ceasefire and the mutually agreed ground rules would apply for a period of one year with effect from Tuesday. (PTI)
