The MP expressed optimism the tripartite talk on FNT between the ENPO, Nagaland Government and Government of India has begun on a positive note and is progressing well and hoped that the discussions will find favourable results. However, Jamir also mentioned that the outcome will depend on the stakeholders coming up with reasonable agreement.

On the abrogation of the Free Movement Regime (FMR) in the India-Myanmar border, MP Jamir said that the State Government has to put pressure on the Central Government and appeal that their call is addressed immediately for the welfare of the people. He expressed concerns for the people staying at the border and called for discussion on the subject.

The lone Lok Sabha MP from Nagaland vowed to bring the issue up in the Parliament again. Further, he stated that believes that no boundaries should be put between the brothers. “We have to plea with the Government of India to bring solution,” the MP remarked.
