"GUWAHATI: NSCN-IM stated that political settlement with the Government of India cannot cover Nagas in Myanmar. That will be the second phase to be settled with the Myanmar Government. In a statement NSCN-IM stated, “Nagas were forcibly divided by the colonial power and placed them in different administrative units for political reason known to all. The terms - the Indian Nagas, Burmese Nagas, Manipur Nagas, Assam Nagas, Arunachal Nagas and Nagas of Nagaland state are derogatory language used by the colonialists. Integration of the divided Naga ancestral domains is the inherent right of the Nagas, and that the Government of India has officially recognized the legitimate right of the Nagas to integration of all Naga areas. By integration, it means – geo-political integration based on sovereign right of the Nagas, not that of the Indian or Burmese constitution.”..."
