The Vishwa Hindu Parishad on Thursday criticised the Centre for holding peace talks with National Socialist Council of Nagalim leaders Thuingaleng Muivah and Isak Chisi Swu.

VHP international senior vice-president Giriraj Kishore said, "They are terrorists and they should be treated like a terrorists."

Muivah and Isak were in Delhi for over a fortnight to hold talks with the Indian government. They had come to India after nearly 37 years in exile.

Kishore said the NSCN has been extorting people and running a parallel government in Nagaland.

He alleged that with the help of the extorted money, the NSCN is running 'embassies' in foreign countries and has become a member of the Unrepresented Nations and People's Organisation.
