New Delhi, Nov. 3 (PTI): Frustrated over the long delay in bringing a solution to the Naga issue, the NSCN (I-M) is likely to seek firm commitment from the Centre over its demand for unification of Naga-inhabited areas at the peace talks scheduled to be held this month in the Netherlands.

NSCN (I-M) chairman Isak Chishi Swu and general secretary Th. Muivah are likely to make it clear before a group of ministers headed by Oscar Fernandez that any compromise on the issue will not be acceptable to the Naga people.

“The issue is too hot, too sensitive,” NSCN (I-M) spokesman Vikiye Sumi said.

The NSCN (I-M) has been pressing for the formation of a “Greater Nagalim” comprising all Naga-inhabited areas in the Northeast. Assam, Manipur and Arunachal Pradesh oppose the move.

The peace talks will be held in the second week of November in the Hague after a gap of nearly a year and are being considered crucial as the rebels raised questions over the government’s sincerity in resolving the problem.

The meeting will also review progress made since the NSCN (I-M) submitted a 20-point charter of demands to the Centre. In this charter, the NSCN (I-M) had sought separate representation at the UN and greater rights over natural resources, finance, defence and policing, besides unification of Naga-inhabited areas.
