Nagaland Chief Minister S. C. Jamir reiterated that unification of all underground groups of Nagaland would bring lasting peace to the insurgency-hit State. 

Addressing a training-cum-workshop for Congress workers, organised by the Kohima District Congress Committee, Mr. Jamir said that to find out a solution to the Naga political problem, unification of all underground groups was a must. 
Settlement with only one faction would not be acceptable to the people of the State longing for a peaceful atmosphere congenial for all-round development. 

He also said that the vested interests from outside the State were trying to change Nagaland and added the rejection of NSCN(K)’s truce offer by the NSCN (I-M) showed the latter’s insincerity towards the people’s wishes for an acceptable solution and a peaceful atmosphere in the State. Mr. Jamir, who is also the president of the NPCC, said that fear psychosis had been affecting the very core of the society for more than a decade. Democratic process was being strangulated by the gun culture.
