NSCN-IM founder Isak Chishi Swu passes away
New Delhi, Jun 28 (IBNS): Isak Chishi Swu, the founder-member and chairman of Nationalist Socialist Council of Nagalim (Isak Muivah) passed away in New Delhi on Tuesday, according to media reports.
He was 85 years old.
He had founded the NSCN-IM along with Thuingaleng Muivah, who was the party's general secretary.
To end the insurgency in Nagaland, the Union government had signed an accord with NSCN-IM last August, which Prime Minister Narendra Modi had called a "historic step" to bring peace to the state.
The accord was signed at PM Modi's residence -- in the presence of the PM, Home Minister Rajnath Singh, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval -- by the Naga group's leader T Muivah and the government interlocutor R N Ravi.
