Dimapur, March 16 -- The Rising People's Party (RPP) on Sunday suggested that the 14thNagaland Legislative Assembly (NLA) should take lead in the Naga peace talks as the Naga Political Groups (NPGs) had their chance to settle the Naga issue.

In a joint statement of RPP, the leaders of the party stated that it is ridiculous to imagine, as of now, that the government of India will conclude any meaningful agreement with the NPGs.

RPP asserted that the 28 years of peace talks have only resulted in the Naga political issue devolving into a law and order problem.

The RPP also stated that the current situation of being stuck in a state of deadlock and the rapid increase in the number of factions (currently 28) cannot continue forever.
