Chinese agencies trying to disrupt Naga peace pact

New Delhi, September 24

The Chinese intelligence agencies have been working overtime in north-eastern states to influence rebel leaders to further deepen “internal” unrest and delay the peace process in the region, sources say.

Intelligence Bureau inputs on the Chinese design have been shared with the Ministry of Home Affairs. The Centre has directed top IB officials to engage Naga insurgent group NSCN (I-M)’s general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah.

NSCN (I-M) chairman Q Tuccu, vice-president Tongmeth Wangnao and 13 others are also in Delhi and have joined Muivah in the talks with IB officials. Differences among the outfit’s ranks became visible when Tuccu and his team chose to stay at separate locations, although accommodation had been arranged at one place. — TNS
