“The road to a final deal has become ticklish as the sensitive issue of Naga flag and Yehzabo,” that’s the Naga constitution, “remains as the sticking point. We have stood our ground on these two non-negotiable issues and we shall continue to stand till the last man standing. NSCN shall be failing before God and before the Naga people if we stumble at this most decisive moment of our history.”

This statement of the Isak Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah group of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim, NSCN (IM), released on 3rd October 2020 has split the beans that the 23-year old peace talks taking place between NSCN (IM) and the Government of India through an interlocutor is in trouble waters and its currently at the point of collapse. According to NSCN (IM) Chief Negotiator, Th. Muivah, “the Nagas will never be part of the Indian Union nor will they accept India’s constitution”.

Depressingly, no sooner had the dust on the prestigious Assam Public Service Commission (APSC) anomalies had settled down than another major recruitment scam, this time the Police Sub-Inspector recruitment irregularity owing to its question paper leakage, has rocked the state.  This unsavoury development unfolding does lead to a speculation that a powerful vested interest circle running the racket must have affected the transparency and sanctity of a recruitment board by putting up jobs for money or leaking question papers.  Prima facie it appears that this well-orchestrated racketeering can seldom drag on for a long period of time without the cue or secret connivance of those who are at the helm of affairs. It is true that the incumbent state government has done a superlative job vis-a-vis carrying on a thorough investigation of the APSC examination scam accusing the previous Congress Government.
