The Parliamentary Core Committee on Naga Political issue, led by Nagaland chief minister Neiphiu Rio had held discussions with the NSCN-IM and the NNPGs in Dimapur earlier in the week.
Both the meetings discussed the way ahead to resolve the decades old Naga Political issue.
The Core Committee had urged the NSCN-IM to resume talks with the Government of India for an early solution to the issue.
The Naga talks hit a deadlock in early 2020 after the NSCN-IM refused to sit for discussions with interlocutor and Nagaland Governor RN Ravi.
