The House also urged the Centre and the NSCN(K) to resume the ceasefire agreement and to create a more peaceful and congenial atmosphere for the smooth progress of the Naga political dialogue.
 

They also appealed to the Centre to withdraw the declaration of the whole state of Nagaland as disturbed area under the Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act 1958.

The House requested all Naga nationalist groups and civil societies to unite and work for the early settlement of the Naga political issue.
