The Prime Minister’s Office yet again overruled a suggestion of the home ministry and appointed RN Ravi, chairman of joint intelligence committee (JIC), as new interlocutor for Naga peace talks. ‘The government has appointed R N Ravi, chairman, joint intelligence committee as the new official interlocutor and government of India representative for Naga peace talks,’ an official notification said on Friday.
Official sources said home minister Rajnath Singh had recommended the name of Ajit Lal, who had retired as chairman of JIC in July 2014, as the interlocutor for Naga talks. However, after deliberating over the suggestion for several weeks, the Prime Minister’s Office overruled the recommendation and appointed Ravi as the interlocutor for Nagal talks.
