ENPO sticks to its stance at tripartite talks in Dimapur

ENPO president Chingmak Chang said talks are “on the right track” and the Centre has agreed to financial, legislative and executive autonomy “in principle,” calling the question of a ‘Frontier Naga Territory’ a third option offered to it by the Centre, which it is willing to accept if these are met.

“Without autonomy in these three things we can’t sign any documents. Financial, executive and legislative autonomy, which they have agreed to in principle… Demand of ENPO is separate statehood. Government of India has offered us this FNT, a third option…” he said. Last month, a round of tripartite talks was held in Delhi.
