Dimapur, June 8 (MExN): A far cry from the original values and envisaged goals, the once-revered Naga political movement today is reduced to greed, rampant extortion, bloodshed and violence and is starting to test the people’s patience, the Angami Public Organization today said, echoing general sentiments. Weighting the harsh reality that the people has been enduring – from unabated killings to greed and rampant extortion – the APO today said it is time for the Naga political groups to reorient and commit to the welfare of the people.
The APO in a statement today squarely made clear that “the much endeared Naga assertion and struggle for political right and identity is fast proving to be losing its reverence even within and amongst the as much patriotic Naga civic populations, given the present chaotic atmosphere of frustration, hopelessness and insecurity, spawning largely from the activities harbored by the national workers”.
The organization reminded that the envisioned Naga political movement was conceived to be a nation’s journey for political identity based on equitable order of social justice, pluralism, democracy, peace and security for all. “It never was meant to be a platform licensed for annihilation of each other, of harassments, threats and imposition of taxes on the public beyond supportable proportions, in such a now prevailing, magnitude and degree,” the APO stated.
The ignominies that the people are going through in the state today, the APO reminded, are the continuing “harsh scenario” of ‘deaths that should not have been, of acts of mindless barbarism, of families being left bereft because of the greed for power, for territorial domination, for the exercise to impose one’s will on another, of harassments and tortures perpetuate to the civilians by phony and unbridled national workers’. Further, the failure of the “political groups’” professed commitment to peace and unity, “to down their gun barrels despite appeals from the Naga civil populace had proved to be an ‘awful aspect’ our society today had plunged into”.
Here, the Angami apex pointed to the endless reasons, appeals and resolutions put across and endorsed against all hostilities within the Naga family, overground or underground, have been “out to rubbish.” The APO mentioned the March 5-7 Naga Consultative Meet convened and attended by all Naga “political groups” and parties. The groups unanimously consented and appended their commitment to cease all sorts of violence under. But the unabated crime of forceful taxations, kidnappings and murders in and around the state carried out by the different Naga underground groups on the pretext of “protecting and promoting the Naga political interest” have again put to rubbish. It has been rubbished even as prayers were made that the groups would “enduringly accepted, honored and revered by all, particularly by the Naga political groups”.
The Angami Public Organization’s lamented that its experiences and wisdom cannot any longer believe and trust political groups who pledge “political sovereignty, peace and reconciliation for the Nagas” even while the groups constantly harbor activities of bloodshed and violence against own ‘brothers’. The Angami apex cautioned: “Given the present turbulent tide and acts testing our patience, APO fears of a suicidal effort within the aspiring Naga goal, until and henceforth the Naga political groups imperatively reorient, fashion and commit their minds and policies in the best interest of the Nagas, public resolutions be honored and all forms of fratricides and unregulated taxations be put to a halt”.
