Press Release


Amsterdam, january 26 2003



The Naga International Support Center wishes to praise the Government of India for the security the have extented to the Naga delegation while in India for the peace talks between the two nations. Nisc knows that prime minister Vajpajee took a risk for though security was organized well elements beyond control could have seriously threatened both the delegation and thus the talks themselved/ Nisc is pleased also that the Government of India kept its word, for the recognition of the uniqueness of the history of the Nagas proved to be well meant. It is refereshing to know that now both nations trust eachother to the point that a final solution is seriously going to be worked out.



With this trust and wisdom shown by both the Government of India and the Naga delegation Nisc feels that the territorial disputes hown by the states of the north east regarding the negaotionas in the peace talks will lead to a deeper understanding for all partie concerned. Nisc then calls on all those in the states to restrain themselves and put forward their ideas and claims without bloodshed.



One question Nisc would like to place before the Home Ministery of the Government of India, a question that relates to a respectful relationship that has received a blow in the recent past.

Now that the decades long distrust and fear between India and Nagalim has turned into understanding a esteem would it not be in line with the lessening of tension that the Home Ministery should lift the ban on the Nisc for visting India and even Nagaland? For upon expressing that Nisc would like to enter Nagalim with or without permission from India (upon invitation by the Nagas and with the aim of conducting a survey on the ceasefire violations plus the shooting of a documentary on Naga cultural life) Nisc learned that an apllication for a visa would have to go through that Home Ministery. Until today, the application was submitted months ago, Nisc had not had a reply on that application. Nisc therefore wishes

the Government of India well in deciding how to deal with with friends of the nation.
