We have signed the Covenant of Naga Reconciliation on 13th July, 2009 and it was duly signed by Mr. S.S. Khaplang, Mr. Singya and Mr. Isak Chishi Swu who are the highest authorities of the three Naga Political groups.
We have committed to the Naga people and to God that we will achieve Naga Reconciliation on the basis of the Historical and Political rights of the Nagas. But unfortunately Mr. S.S. Khaplang backed out from this historic Agreement which was aimed at finding meaningful and permanent Reconciliations amongst the Naga Political groups. But we leave the matter to the Naga people and to God to judge.
When Mr. Kitovi parted ways with Mr. S.S. Khaplang, blaming the latter for withdrawal from the Naga Reconciliation process it was thought that Mr. Kitovi was seriously committed to the cause of Unity and Reconciliation. When the going became very serious suddenly Mr. Kitovi issued a statement that they will not join force with the NSCN under the Collective Leaderships of Mr. Isak Chishi Swu and Mr. Th. Muivah, they would rather seek separate Talks and that too for the Nagas of Nagaland only and approached the Govt. of India to appoint a separate Interlocutor to which the GoI candidly said, NO!
Again in 2014 Mr. Singya and his group exposed of their double standards and dishonesty when their group confessed that their President was none other than Ms. Adino. This startling disclosure of Mr. Singya and his group on 02nd May, 2014 during the Naga Reconciliation Meeting at Kolkata completely exposed their mischief and their non committal to the Naga Reconciliation as their own action nullified their earlier statements and declarations about their group`s leaderships. It may be recalled that, Mr. Singya/group`s declaration is clearly inked in the records of the Nagas` political journey and particularly in the records of Naga Reconciliation process that, in 2008, Mr. Singya and his group had declared to the Naga people that, they opposed the Shillong Accord, whereas, contrarily their President, Ms. Adino identified herself with the Peace Campers who were non other then the Shillong Accordists. Hence, it is clearly evident enough for the Nagas to see that Mr. Singya and his group have completely misled the Nagas in general and the other Political groups especially the signatories of the most historic Agreement on Naga Reconciliation, FNR and all concerns.
Further in this regard the people in general should not be misled by any of their construed statements or claims because based on their declared opposition to the Shillong Accord and signing of the historic Covenant of Naga Reconciliation Mr. Singya`s group had participated in the series of reconciliation meetings till they declared that their President resides in the Peace Camp meant for the supporters of Shillong Accord.
In spite of all these failures on the part of some Naga leaders to be selflessly truthful, His Excellency, Mr. Isak Chishi Swu, after signing the 3rd August, 2015 Framework Agreement, had issued a statement from his hospital bed on 29th August, 2015 and had appealed and called upon the Nagas to come forward and to unite by forgetting the past mistakes no matter whatever amount of mistakes might have been committed against each other in the past. The historical force and the change of time favours the Nagas once again to correct the mistakes of our own makings and also the wrongs committed against us. Today at this very important turning point of our history, the Naga people should know and understand that, the past is past, and that we must all come together in the name of Christ and also respecting and acknowledging our Historical and Political rights. The Nagas must also not forget that there is a time and season for all things; hence, we must correct all the political mistakes and come together in order to chart out our common future based on the Uniqueness of our History and Political position. Mr. Isak urged upon the Nagas to come forward so as to march forward in a united strength to reach a lasting peace and prosperous future of the Nagas. With forgiveness all the Nagas should come together and in one accord of mind we should enter the Promised Land, was the call of Mr. Isak Chishi Swu.
It is noted and highly appreciated that large numbers have responded to the call of Mr. Isak Chishi Swu and still many are expected to respond to his historic call.    
In these years of our endeavours with the trying moments of ups and downs in the journey the FNR has done their utmost and the history tomorrow will tell the generations to come of their yeomen services rendered for Nagas Reconciliation. Nagas also cannot forget the selfless sacrifices made by many Peace loving persons from across the World both individually and by organizations that have helped the Nagas to cease violence and create conducive environment to reconcile for united Nagalim. The NSCN continues to look up to them with undiminished hopes that they will give more thrust once and for all to achieve our long cherished wish for unity and reconciliation.
Now the biggest question to the Nagas is, `how long the NSCN should wait for all to join as one?’ The Govt. of India and the NSCN in their political negotiations have now reached the most crucial and concluding stage. It will therefore be unwise, rather absurd on the part of the Nagas to prolong or wait indefinitely. The World is racing even for a split of second and how can the Nagas think of nineteen (19) years of negotiation as not long enough?
