Assam Governor P B Acharya today condoled the death of NSCN(IM) leader Isak Chisi Swu who passed away in a New Delhi hospital yesterday.
"It is with great shock that I learnt of the passing of Chairman and Co-founder of NSCN(IM) Isak Chisi Swu. He was a person with a combination of all experiences who proved himself well practically," the Governor said in a condolence message here.
"It is indeed a great loss for all to have lost a dedicated, devoted and a committed leader, but the Nagas have lost an influential and courageous leader," he said.
"He spent all his life for the Naga cause and his contribution to the frame work agreement signed between the Centre and NSCN(IM) has been enormous. His guidance and contributions will remain vital," the Governor said.
"It is unfortunate that he is not in our midst to participate in the talks for the final agreement between the Centre and NSCN(IM), which is heading towards the final stage.
"The vacuum caused by his departure will be very hard to fill and I along with my wife offer our deepest condolences to Swu's wife and children," he added.
