The most unwanted statement of so called Mr. T.L. Angami in his article published on 11th Jan. 2017 has hurt the sentiment of many Naga national leaders whose destructive opinion and Anti-Naga language has sown the seed of ‘Ism’ and ‘Ego’ problem within the Naga society it is also a matter of great insult to the Naga brethren who have sacrificed their lives for the common cause of Naga Political aspiration as well as to the living National workers who are voluntarily rendering their service to achieve it at any cost for self determination till date. On the other hand every mankind in born to die one day or other but the history will remain alive till the end of this world therefore Mr. T.L. Angami if you feel that you are a gentleman you should speak and act like gentlemen, indeed a person’s life is like a book which is read by others therefore even if you try to acclaim yourself as a great leader your words has determined and gives the picture of who you are Mr. T.L. Angami you have mentioned that have been constantly appealing to National Workers leaders for the unity in order to achieve the Naga common goal more over you were the one who have founded the G.Bs and village chiefs federation of Nagaland (GBPN) besides you have mentioned about the Naga Plebiscite of 16 May 1951 under the leadership of His Excellency the 4th NNC President Late A.Z. Phizo where as it was not only your villagers but the freedom loving entire Nagas has participated in that historic plebiscite (99.9% had put their thumb impression)
Therefore it is not necessary to mention any particular person’s name or village but it was the Nagas who took part and made it a historic achievement. In fact in the initial stage the Naga leaders has made some mistakes on the other hand their tireless efforts had made great achievement just as the saying goes “to err is human” everyone, makes mistakes and get slip in the large ground too. Therefore if you feel that you are a responsible gentleman never ever repeat the past mistakes which could led to more fragmentation and disunity unity among our self.
Intact it is obvious that Nagas lave legitimate right to be independent and sovereign nation and this is the birth right of Nagas. On the other hand you have mentioned about the framework agreement signed between the NSCN (IM) and the Govt. of India on 3rd Aug. 2015 therefore (1) you are strongly appealed to disclose the entire content of the framework agreement to the Nagas moreover as per your statement that says “So called Naga National Workers” this is a serious matter of insulting the other Naga Political groups by making the remaining NNPGs as unrecognized and illegitimate freedom fighters. (2) you are asked to give the meaning of the sentence “So called Naga National Workers’ are they not fighting for Nagas? Are they not legitimate Naga National Workers? (3) You are also asked to clarify to the NNPGs whether the unification of NNAGs is illegal is this unity is against the interest of Nagas? (4) When the entire Naga Political Groups are trying to unite together in order to achieve the common goal of Nagas what type of Unity do you want from Naga National Workers. (5) who are you and what authority to you have to order the Naga National workers not to send anymore messages or greetings or salute to the Nagas? (6) on which date and time and where did the Angamis has empowered or authorized you to declare not to give cooperation to the unified NNPGs. (7) Who had told you that Angamis are not less than the freedom fighters for the Nagas.
As stated above the so called Mr. T. L. Angami must give concrete answer of the above mentioned questions and tender an apology to the NNPGs and the Nagas in general for destroying the image of Nagas and advice to wipe out the mentality of ‘Ism’ and ‘Ego’ which can let further division among the Naga national Workers and various Naga civil organizations in general. Besides you as a person should be very much mindful if you want to talk about Naga Political History because one Person’s error cannot destroy the history on the other hand just as the blood is thicker than water so also politics is thicker than blood, therefore each and every Naga National Workers shall not tolerate on wrong propaganda nor compromise with history made by vested individuals for their personal interest with the motive to achieve their selfish goal by taking the name of Nagas who had been sacrificing their entire lives for the sovereignty of Nagas which is the legitimate birth right inherited from ancient forefathers since time immemorial.
