Maybe there will be a kind of talk, but I don't think the insurgency problem will be solved in seven sisters region if the Indian govt. does not change its policy towards the region. History repeats itself. Rajkhowa gone some one else will come out soon, as Fiju gone IM-K came out. What a unmatured way of solving problems!
