The demand of the NSCN(I-M) is a greater Nagaland with own flag and constitution, general secretary Thuingaleng Muivah said Thursday.
The demand is based on the Naga political rights and "we will not surrender our rights at any cost", Muivah said.
The demand of the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (Isak-Muivah) for greater Nagaland includes not only Nagaland, but also the Naga-inhabited areas in the neighbouring states.
"Our demand is for separate Naga national flag and a separate constitution and if the Centre does not accept (it), there is no other way to resolve the political problem," he said at the NSCN (I-M) headquarters in Hebron.
The Naga struggle is political and not a law-and-order problem, Muivah said. "Therefore, there has to be a national flag, not symbolic cultural flag, and own constitution."
