The two organisations, while appreciating the present government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his statesmanship in showing genuine concern to resolve the Naga political issue, once again called upon the government of India to take into cognisance all the efforts and concord made between the Naga leaders and the five former prime ministers of Indian namely PV Narasimha Rao, Atal Behari Vajpayee, HD Deve Gowda, Inder Kumal Gujral, and Manmohan Singh, who had given due recognition to Naga problem as a ‘political problem’ and the ‘uniqueness of the Naga history.’

With all the established facts, the two organisations have expressed confidence that the Indo-Naga political issue could now be concluded honourably on the basis of historical rights.

AKM and KSU for amicable Naga political solution

Konyak Students’ Union (KSU) and the Ao Kaketshir Mungdang (AKM) have affirmed their support towards an amicable solution to the seven-decade old Naga political movement, which is honourable, acceptable and based on peaceful coexistence.

The decision to this effect was taken during the recent meeting of KSU and AKM held at Mon town on September 5. The two organisations had a threadbare deliberation on various pertinent issues and decided to work together with utmost respect to all the esteemed organisations for a peaceful coexistence of all Naga societies, an update from the AKM and KSU stated on Tuesday.

The two organisations have also denounced the exercise of delimitation process in the state of Nagaland till an honourable solution to Naga political issues is arrived at. In this regard, the two organisations have urged the government not to enforce the delimitation process as it would destabilise the solemn nature of tribal affiliation and also create division within the society.

The two organisations have also affirmed to stand tooth and nail if such unwanted terms of exercise are imposed upon and that they would not be held responsible in the event of any circumstantial failure as a result of “imposed” delimitation process.

KSU and AKM further urged the government to initiate sincere, serious and honest execution of the census programme in the state rather than implementing the unwarranted de-limitation process.
