Last year on November 22, the leaders of NSCN declared the unification of all Nagas to fight for the common cause of sovereignty. Yesterday, NCNS celebrated its first anniversary and sent across the message of unity and reconciliation of the Nagas.
The Government of the People’s Republic of Nagaland/National Socialist Council of Nagalim (GPRN/NSCN) celebrated its first anniversary of Naga unification at Khehoi designated camp on November 22, sending a message across that Naga problem can be solved only through unity and reconciliation of the Nagas.
President of GPRN/NSCN, SS Khaplang in his message said that Naga people’s unity and freedom cannot be obstinately bartered away with individual ideology or principles. The people’s wishes and desire cannot be crucified on the altar of inhumanity. Khaplang’s message was read out by MIP Kilonser Alezo Venuh.
Khaplang said that the commitment of one’s patriotism should transcend across sectarian or individual interests and focus on promoting the desire, wishes and aspiration of the general Naga people.
“Today, we are anchored at the cross-road where acknowledgment of the ground reality has become indispensable,” he stated and called upon the people not to be discouraged by negative espousers. “We are obliged to take up the cudgels of pragmatic and constructive approaches collectively, so that the ugly past does not recur and our aspiration salvaged,” he added.
Khaplang further called upon the Nagas to ’to unify ourselves and rescue our cause’ from degenerating into the dark depths of the basset of human nature. He also called upon all the Nagas to rededicate themselves to the task ahead so that Nagas can build and bequeath the legacy of an assured future for the upcoming generations.
Stating that tremendous changes have taken place in the Naga political context, the GPRN/NSCN president said that the endured desire of the Nagas to concertedly expedite a final solution to the protracted Indo-Naga-Burma political imbroglio persisted. He said that on November 22, 2007, unification of all Naga people materialised, marking a significant landmark in the political history of the Nagas. “It is the realisation of the Naga people, irrespective of tribal affiliations or across artificially imposed boundaries, with a common aspiration to defend our inalienable rights as a people-nation in unity,” he stated.
Calling upon all responsible Nagas to come forward and dispense each and every person’s respective duties to achieve the goals, he said that Nagas have to openly identify and isolate destructive and obstructive elements and their views, which are up against Naga people’s reconciliation and unification. “We have to pronounce a spade a spade without any reservation,” he stated.
Stating that Muivah’s talks with the Government of India for more than a decade has yielded no results except drained and suffocated the economy of the Nagas, Khaplang said that Muivah’s failure can be attributed to orchestrated mandate and consensus of the Nagas, misrepresenting the true spirit, desire and wish of the people in concern.
He also thanked the Naga civil societies, non government organisations, Churches, public leaders, intellectuals and general Naga public for having reposed faith upon the GPRN/NSCN, stating that their tireless support, help and ceaseless prayers have enabled to attain unity and towards subsequent exploration for a final solution to the vexed Indo-Naga political imbroglio.
Giving a brief account of the initiation of all Naga unification, Kilo Kilonser, Azheto Chopy said that different organisations have been in search for sovereignty, but their desires have been turned down in the last many years.
He said unless Nagas unite, they cannot bring any solution. He said that ’Nagaland for Christ’ should not be the motto of the national workers alone but for all Nagas. He lamented that even after following the teaching of Christ, there is bloodshed amongst the Nagas.
He said the Nagas have tried to unite under various leaderships and even endorsed their support to the collective leadership in 2005, but there was no outcome, whereas the Government of India has been saying that Nagas should unite first during the peace talks. Since the Nagas were unable to unite, last year on November 22, the initiative was taken and Naga unification was declared, he disclosed.
Stating that Nagas’ stand is to bring unity amongst themselves, Chopy appealed to all the Nagas to shed differences and unite for the larger interest of all people of Nagaland.
Others who shared their views on Naga political problem, Naga unity and reconciliation were Naga Hoho president, Keviluto, DBs & GBs forum representative and FNR convenor, Dr Wati Aier.
