Corroboration: 2 independent outlets

The Working Committee of the Naga National Political Groups, led by Neokpao, has demanded that the NSCN/FRGN withdraw its 23 October statement and tender an unqualified apology to the Naga people and non-Naga communities residing in Nagaland. The committee described the statement as 'immature and shortsighted' and alleged it could cause communal unrest and fear among Naga communities across India, including students. The committee directed the group to disband within two weeks or face consequences. It called for the group to be investigated, apprehended and punished in accordance with the law. The NSCN/FRGN statement, according to reports, contained resolutions on Sunday observance, liquor prohibition, drug control and the phased closure of non-local businesses.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

Both the Nagaland Tribune and the Morung Express carry nearly identical wire-style reports of the Working Committee's warning. The coverage is uniform: both lead with the two-week disband ultimatum and quote the committee's characterisation of the NSCN/FRGN as a fringe group misusing the Naga political issue. The Morung Express adds context by naming the resolutions in the original 23 October statement, Sunday observance, liquor prohibition, drug control and the phased closure of non-local businesses, which prompted the Working Committee's reaction. The uniform reporting leaves no framing difference between the two outlets, the balanced reading is that the Working Committee's warning is the sole news event, and the broader Naga peace process is not directly addressed.
