 Arunachal Pradesh Chief Minister Nabam Tuki on Thursday deleted his tweet welcoming the Naga peace accord, amid criticism by Congress president Sonia Gandhi that the central government did not consult the chief ministers of northeastern states.

Tuki on Wednesday wrote on his Twitter handle: "Welcomed the initiative of the Centre to bring a peaceful solution to the prolonged Naga political issue."

Gandhi has flayed the central government for not taking the chief ministers of northeastern states into confidence before it inked a peace accord with the NSCN-IM.
The central government and the NSCN-IM on Monday signed the peace deal.
