"All of us have been insisting that there should be re-conciliation and unity among Naga underground groups, but at the same time we overground politicians irrespective of party affiliations should have been united first on the Naga political issue," he told newsmen here after the official thanksgiving service.

"Unfortunately, it (understanding among parties) has not happened so far despite the many efforts of DAN government to bring all over ground politicians to a common platform on the vexed political problem since it came to power," he said.

Earlier, addressing the gathering Rio appreciated the initiative of Speaker Kiyanilie Pseyie in holding two sittings of all the 60 members of the house which led to the formation of the joint parliamentary committee, which will act as a facilitator to the ongoing Naga peace process.

He also thanked the opposition Congress for its cooperation in the forming of the joint committee.

Rio expressed satisfaction over the peacetalks between the Centre and NSCN(I-M) in which the dialogue was on in the highest levels and assured that his government would pave the way for a new dispensation if it comes by way of a political settlement of the vexed Naga political conflict.
