Sir,
We being the Nagas of Nagaland State, have been left awestruck by the enduring effort of the NSCN (IM) in continually leaving at bay, the Nagas of Nagaland, whilst determining the entire political agenda of Nagaland without reminiscing to consult the people to compromise, on what is to be provided under their Framework Agreement with the govt. of India. Need we remind them that, although they have gotten through today as one of the prominent Naga Political Group who have managed to establish cordial dialogue with the centre, but that they are also another subsequent group among the many others, who all stand firm in their own method of resolution for a better Naga solution: The facts itself cries out the Truth. Since it has been cleared that the political aspiration of Nagaland remains a race among the various political groups with one pioneer laying only the secession for the next, during the process which, some elites sought for the creation of Nagaland State without the total consent of the entire mass; the present social and emotional escalations cannot be merely doused as the present Nagas have been kindled with much geniality which may have even surpassed the profound schemes that the NSCN (IM) insists on Nagas of Nagaland to inherit.
We have repeatedly appealed to them to consult with the people regarding the contents of the framework and to compromise on reasonable ground, which they alleged as ‘Hijacking’, so that the fatiguing Naga political issue could be buried for once, and after which we could all aim for higher uplifting of the people. It is with utter disappointment the Nagas have been kept in the dark regarding their own political future. It also appears that the visits made by certain Civil Societies and Federations with our PM. Modi, to include all the stakeholders (which includes the people), seems to be fathomless for the Nagas of Nagaland.
The Indian constitution itself regards to uphold and safeguard the democratic rights of the people, whereas the current reflection of the methods used between the Centre and one Naga Political Group, seems to somehow be depriving the citizens of what is rightfully theirs.
Therefore we urge your benevolent authority to kindly address the issue regarding the sentiments of the Nagas — that we are not against the Centre nor the NSCN (IM); we only seek that we’d be also made known of what is to be implemented upon us, so that we would compromise on it; definitely, and conclude it under fair tides. If the Centre fails to contemplate this simple natural sentiment of the Nagas of Nagaland, then it would also be awkward on our part to ignore the rest of the Naga Political Groups and the people, for which we may be compelled to seek for a higher platform to address our grievances.
