Dimapur, Aug. 26 (EMN): The NSCN (IM) on Sunday asserted at no point of time has it ‘years softened its stand on the Naga history, identity and inherent rights of all the Nagas’ vis-a-vis the Indo-Naga political negotiations.
“The ‘uniqueness of Naga history’ is an unparallel account to any other merged state(s) which has continued resistance to colonialism since the British rule, where each Naga villages since time immemorial lived a democratic republic and exercise their sovereignty. Unlike other Maharajas or kingdoms, no Naga chief ever assented to join the Indian federal union. Hence, the Nagas’ right for self-determination is a derivative of biological, cultural, history and political.
“Therefore, the NSCN is prepared to go to any length against those trying to sabotage the ongoing Indo-Naga peace process as we believe that no one has the right to dictate the fate of others for their own convenience,” read a statement from the group on Sunday.
