At a public function at Kohima in August, Nagaland governor and Centre’s interlocutor for Naga talks R.N. Ravi said Prime Minister Narendra Modi wants resolution of Naga the issue within three months.
The NTC also reiterated its “adopted stand” that “when land integration is not possible at the moment, we cannot opt for population integration”.
