Kuki region national workers meet with GPRN/NSCN leaders

DIMAPUR — The GPRN/NSCN Kuki Region workers numbering more than eighty, from both civil and military wings, led by senior leader C Singson Kuki met the GPRN/NSCN Ato Kilonser and convener WC-NNPG, N Kitovi Zhimomi and Vice President Chennyiem Konyak at the Oking.

In a press release on Tuesday, the MIP, GPRN/NSCN, stated that Lengjan Kuki, the only Kuki signatory of the January 10, 1929, memorandum to the British Statutory Commission, remains a beacon of light for indigenous Kukis of Nagaland.

“The Kukis of Nagaland were reminded of their inseparable link with the Naga political movement, which is rooted in the soil of Nagaland.

The contribution of Kukis to the Naga political movement from 1929 till date was remarkable for a fact that Kukis had stood shoulder to shoulder with the Naga pioneers in the political movement, much earlier than our own Naga brothers from Manipur and this fact of history cannot be erased,” the release stated.

It went on to state that to question the “Kuki Naga national workers would be questioning the very Naga history itself and therefore Kuki National workers were encouraged to continue the legacy of the pioneers.”

“They were also asked to ignore the false scripts of those late entrants of the Naga movement, trying to rewrite and diminish Naga history, identity and culture with dubious impractical narrative.”

The Kuki delegation acknowledged the GPRN/NSCN under the leadership of President Maj. (Retd.) RM Lotha and N Kitovi Zhimomi, who is also the Convener of WC-NNPG, and reiterated that Kukis of Nagaland, as stakeholders, would heartily welcome honourable and acceptable political solution between Gol and the Nagas.
