NSCN-IM Leaders Retract Remarks on S C Jamir Following Ao Senden Warning
Two NSCN-IM leaders retracted their remarks questioning former Nagaland Chief Minister S C Jamir's authority on the Naga political issue after the Ao Senden, the apex body of the Ao Naga tribe, warned of action if the comments were not withdrawn within 15 days. The controversy followed Jamir's meeting with RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat seeking support for an early political settlement. The Ao Senden emphasized that no individual or group holds exclusive rights over the Naga political issue, encouraging open expression despite differences. NSCN-IM has been engaged in talks with the Indian government since a 1997 ceasefire.
