Naga peace talks: Governor rules out separate constitution, flag
Guwahati, Dec 01: Nagaland Governor, R N Ravi, who is the Centre's interlocutor for the ongoing Naga peace talks has ruled out the possibility of a separate constitution and flag for the community.
This
has
been
a
major
bone
of
contention
between
the
NSCN
(IM)
and
the
government.
"The
Indian
National
Flag
and
Constitution
are
the
pride
of
the
people
of
India.
The
Government
of
India
is
absolutely
clear
that
there
is
and
shall
be
only
one
National
Flag
and
Constitution
in
India.
Anyone
talking
anything
contrary
is
peddling
preposterous
lies.
They
are
trying
to
confuse
and
mislead
the
people,"
he
said.
Any misadventure to disintegrate this nation will not be tolerated, Ravi also went on to say.

The traditional village institutions and the tribal bodies are the primary stakeholders in the Naga political issue...They have clearly expressed their mind. They demand conclusion of the endless Peace-Process without any further delay. They want end of the gun- culture, he also added.

"Being disrespectful to the primary stakeholders is an insult to the people of Nagaland. Any attempt to intimidate or threaten them will invite the wrath of the people and full might of the laws of the land," he further added.
