Dimapur, March 21
Naga National Council (NNC) has appealed to all Naga national political groups to unite for political solution in consultation with all the stakeholders.
The NNC however said, present talk between the Government of India and NSCN IM is exclusive and without clarity, leaving behind the majority of Naga national political groups and stakeholders.
Acting President of Naga National Council Z.Royim Yimchungrii in his address on the occasion of 61st year of Naga Republic Day, asserted that the mainland majority will never accept a piece-meal solution of the seven long decades political struggle of the Naga people for freedom.
Stating that government of India is politically interested in the Naga affairs of self-administered areas of Sagaing Region of Eastern Nagaland and that Naga people know their policy, Yimchungrii said, without the mainland people of that area nothing can be done politically or geographically. “And this is the reality they (GOI) must face and do as the mainland people have the final say in political matter.”
The NNC reiterated that government of India will always apply ‘divide and rule’ policy to destroy Naga politics but it will never be possible as the ‘spirit of Naga nationalism is from our living God the defender and protector of the downtrodden Naga people.’
“This is the 61st year of our declaration as a Republic and of the Government of Nagaland as the living God’s creation. Therefore we praise and thank God Almighty for His purpose for the Naga people.” The NNC also remembered the martyrs on the occasion as the heroes in the National struggle for freedom.
“Today, I on behalf of the NNC must say that we the National workers have come this far and have reached a crucial stage of our political struggle for recognition. Unitedly, we must take a decisive step for our future as we are facing immense pressure from people far and near as the present situation demands for political settlement.”
