‘All arrest warrants against Muivah withdrawn’
Thursday, July 18 2002 22:23 Hrs (IST)

New Delhi: Seeking to promote the peace process in Nagaland, all warrants of arrest against National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN) leader Isaac Muivah and some others of the militant outfit have been withdrawn, Nagaland Chief Minister S C Jamir said on July 18 after meeting Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani.

"If they (NSCM-IM leaders) want to come to India, it will be very good. And as far as we are concerned, we have already withdrawn the warrants of arrest and I have forgiven them," he told reporters.

Muivah, among others, had been charged with conspiracy to assassinate Jamir two years back. Two policemen were killed in the assassination bid.

The Chief Minister said he had discussed with Advani the progress of the Naga peace process.

Muivah, along with NSCN (I-M) Chairman Isak Swu, gave a written assurance on July 11 to Prime Minister's special emissary K Padmanabhaiah in Amsterdam that they would come to India to hold further talks.

Official sources said some cases may be pending against Muivah in Assam and Manipur.
