No compromise, says Gogoi

By Anjali Mody

Guwahati JAN. 13. The Assam Chief Minister, Tarun Gogoi, has welcomed the talks in India between the Centre and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (I-M). He said he would ask the United Liberation Front of Asom and all militant organisations in the northeast to follow the example of the NSCN (I-M) in seeking a solution through dialogue. But his Government would never support the formation of a "greater Nagaland''. Speaking at the inauguration of the annual `Brahmaputra Beach festival' at which the Union Home Minister, L.K. Advani, was the chief guest, he said, "We have heard about the concept of `greater Nagaland' but the State Government would oppose any move to compromise with the boundaries of the State''.
