On August 17, 2019, Ravi disclosed the prime minister has asked him to conclude talks on the Framework Agreement in three months. Ravi, on his part, has issued an order asking state government employees to issue declarations that none of their relatives has any dealings with militant groups - especially the NSCN-IM.Īnd it is the NSCN-IM which is having the last laugh as speculation grows that Ravi may have been replaced as Naga interlocutor. Today, after talking for five years, the NSCN-IM says it doesn't want Ravi as the interlocutor anymore because he trashed their reputation by calling them extortionists and thugs. In 2015, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and NSCN-IM supremo Thuingaleng Muivah signed a Framework Agreement to address Naga identity and sovereignty issues, and end the oldest insurgency in India.ĭetails of the agreement were not made public even to Parliament.
