Naga accord: Kiren Rijiju to respond in Lok Sabha today

March 15, 2016 09:08

Minister of State for Home Affairs Kiren Rijiju will today make statement on Naga peace accord in Lok Sabha.

The accord was signed in August 2015 in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Home Minister Rajnath Singh had earlier refuted Rahul Gandhi's claim that he was not informed before signing a peace pact with Naga insurgent group NSCN-IM saying the Congress vice-president's statement was 'completely false and baseless' and he 'misled' Parliament.

The home minister's reaction came after the Congress vice president told the Lok Sabha that Singh was not aware of Naga peace accord which was signed in August 2015 in presence of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
