“In the unfolding epochal story of India’s resurgence, Nagaland cannot be left behind,” he stated.

He said that the British created “false narrative of perpetual conflict and warfare between the people of Naga Hills and Plains”.
Nagaland Governor RN Ravi is also the interlocutor for the Indo-Naga peace talks.
