NSCN is in talks with us, but indulging in violence: PC

February 01, 2012

Home Minister P Chidambaram has accused the Naga insurgent group NSCN-IM of indulging in kidnapping and other unlawful activities despite holding peace talks with the government. Chidambaram also said security forces continue to be deployed in Manipur to ensure the safety and security of the Electronic Voting Machines, polling personnel and the candidates.

"The NSCN-IM is in talks with the Government of India. There is an interlocutor. But it is also true that NSCN-IM cadres along with some other organisations continue to indulge in kidnapping and some time violence," he told reporters in New Delhi last evening.
