Hebron (Nagaland), Aug 14 (Agencies): Earlier while not going into details of the kind of the final solution to be reached since the `competencies`™ are being worked out, Muivah revealed that the final solution will be above the 1975 Shillong Accord, a report in Nagaland Page, a prominent daily in Dimapur said.

`The solution will be above Shillong Accord,` he said.

He reminisced that Shillong Accord of 1975 was the worst thing that had happened to the Nagas, as a result of which Nagas began to lose ground it said.

The NSCN was formed in the aftermath of the Shillong Accord of 1975, signed between the Government of India and the Naga National Council.

The terms of the Shillong Accord had stipulated that underground Naga organisations would give up arms and `formulate other issues for discussion for final settlement`.

In the aftermath of the Shillong Accord, Muivah said some of them had taken a decision to oppose it, and after fighting for 25 years India realised the futility of military solution to the Naga issue, it said.

`India came in search of us. They took initiative to seek political solution. We also realise that we cannot finish the Indian Army off. So we also decided for political solution,` he added.
