Kohima: Thuingaleng Muivah, general secretary of the Isak-Muivah-led National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM), was admitted to the Christian Institute of Health Sciences and Research (CIHSR) in Nagaland’s Dimapur on Friday due to health issues.
The 91-year-old pro-Naga nationalist is reported to be in stable condition and is currently under medical supervision. He reportedly complained of indigestion, diarrhoea, difficulty in breathing, and other age-related issues.
Muivah has been a key figure in the ongoing peace negotiations between the NSCN-IM and the Government of India. The NSCN (IM) has been in a ceasefire agreement with the Central government since 1997.
In 2015, the organisation signed a Framework Agreement with the Government of India as part of its efforts to resolve the decades-long Naga political issue.
The peace talks, which is widely considered to be at a “final stage”, has dragged on without much clarity in the past few months.
