The Steering Committee of NSCN (I-M) said the Framework Agreement (FA) was not published to public domain right after the signing as competencies were yet to be worked out and the contents needed safeguarding before the completion of the competencies that will determine the new relationship between India and the Nagas.

It is pertinent to have proper information, so that we can make more informed judgment about these issues.

The framework agreement was signed between the GOI and NSCN (IM) on August 3, 2015.
