The Chakhesang Public Organization, in its Executive Council Meeting, held on 18th August, 2014, at Pfutsero, deliberated on various issues confronting the community.
The meeting seriously deliberated on the recent spate of violence in the district. The CPO observes with regret to note the recurrence of factional killings in the district when people in other parts of the state are living in a relatively peaceful atmosphere. And when the Chakhesangs, as a community are an active supporter and agent of peace and unity in the larger Naga society, the CPO reiterates its commitment to uphold the principle of non-violence and shall continue to work for the unity and reconciliation of the Naga political groups.
As such, the CPO shall not hesitate to term any Naga political groups as anti-social and anti-national if any is found indulging in activities which not only disturb the fabric of society but also destroy the spirit of nation building.
The CPO also reviewed the existing system of taxation by the Naga political groups. Due to multi-taxation imposed on the people by different Naga political groups, the socio-economic life of the people has been adversely affected. But more importantly and alarmingly, this practice of multi-taxation is found to be strangulating the very spirit of Naga nationalism. The CPO therefore makes its stand not to endorse this form of taxation and sincerely appeals to various political groups to consider the sentiments and plights of the people lest it results in sabotaging the national movement itself.
The CPO offers its deepest appreciation to those Naga political groups who have heeded to the cries of the Naga people and are ceaselessly working to promote the spirit of toleration and reconciliation. It is hoped that they will continue to progress in this direction to safeguard the interest of the Naga people and their aspirations.
