In a new development, the Khango Konyak-led NSCN (K) and the NSCN group led by Akato Chophi on April 21 mutually entered into an agreement “to work together to achieve the various aims and objectives” and also joint hold talks with the Government of India.
This was stated in a Memorandum of Understanding jointly singed by Khango faction led by chairman ‘lt. gen.’ Khango Konyak and general secretary Hokato Vusshe and Akto-led group led by chairman Akato Chophi and general secretary Michael Yeptho.
Both sides also agreed in letter and spirit to pursue the political dialogue with the Centre under one platform, towards achieving a permanent solution to the vexed Naga political issue, in the interest of both the parties and the Nagas in general. The two groups also agreed to have a “joint military defence” so that in the event of assault on any “member” or the “parties” by any domestic or foreign enemies, both would “corroborate to neutralize such threats.”
