Asungba Sangtam has welcomed the move of withdrawing an arrest
warrant against NSCN (I-M) leaders for enabling them to come
to India for peace talks.
"If you initiate a peace process, you must create an

in the country if there is an arrest warrant against him,"
Sangtam, an MP from Nagaland, told reporters here yesterday.
