Thuingaleng Muivah, the general secretary of the Isak-Muivah faction of the extremist National Socialist Council of Nagaland, said New Delhi has officially acknowledged the right of the Nagas to be integrated.
The outfit calls itself the National Socialist Council of Nagalim, or NSCN (I-M). The integration of all Naga-inhabited areas in northeast India and Myanmar into a single administrative unit called Greater Nagalim has been its long-term demand.
“On the issue of the integration of all Naga areas, the Government of India has officially acknowledged that it is the legitimate right of the Nagas and therefore, it shall be finalised accordingly,” Mr. Muivah, also the “Ato Kilonser [Prime Minister]“ of the NSCN (I-M), said in his speech during the celebration of the 77th “Naga Independence Day”.
