Kohima, May 20: The Centre and the NSCN(IM) will hold another round of dialogue at Bangkok tomorrow on various issues, including government interlocutor K Padmanabhaiah's recent statement on disarming and disbanding the outfit before any substantial talks.
NSCN(IM) sources said here today that the dialogues would be held between the outfit's leadership and Centre's emissary K Padmanabhaiah.
Although no details were available about the peace parleys as yet, sources said NSCN (IM) ''Kilo Kilonser (home minister)'' A K Lungalang and A Z Jami had already left for Bangkok to attend the meeting. It should be recalled that Padmanabhaiah's statement was not only opposed by the outfit but also by several NGOs which said that ''New Delhi is not sincere enough in its approach to resolve the decade-old Naga problem''.
Meanwhile, various Naga underground organisations have stressed on establishing unity and understanding among themselves for finding a lasting solution to the Naga imbroglio. However, to unite the warring underground groups, the NSCN(IM) has also recently circulated a seven-point formula with emphasis on peace and reconciliation among the rival factions.
The state government has constituted a peace committee under the chairmanship of Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio and a reconciliation committee comprising various NGOs to facilitate the ongoing peace process initiated by the Centre and the reconciliation campaign launched by various NGOs and churches.
