NAGA PROBLEM

ihe news that the
military operations against
the NagHs will be ended
and the troops will be
withdrawn from the re-
gion to prepare the ground
for a political under-
standing is , encouraging.
The important- thing is how
the centre intends to move
for a political settlement.
The-hint was given by
Sri Nehru in the Lok
Sabha that the Govern-
ment were prepared to
amend the Sixth schedule
of the constitution. With-
drawal of troops is ex-
pected to have tremendous
psychological effect ou the
rebel leaders who, we be-
lieve will favourably
react to the proposal to
constitute tbe Naga Hills
as a union Territory. This
proposal will at least help
to prepare the ground for
a high level political con-
ference for the purpose
of evolving an agreed
settlement.
