Earlier during the Independence Day celebrations, Assam chief minister Himanta Biswa Sarma had appealed ULFA-I chief Paresh Baruah to come forward to the negotiating table for the dialogue process. 

On the other hand, Assam CM Himanta Biswa Sarma, who is also the convenor of NEDA (Northeast Democratic Alliance) was also likely to discuss the issue of Naga Peace Talks during his meetings.  

The Naga Peace Process seems to have hit a roadblock once again, after the NSCN-IM recently in a strongly worded statement said that talks with the new central interlocutor AK Mishra failed to live up to the hype created and been unable to resolve Naga demands for a separate flag and a constitution.
