In the initial stage of the ongoing talk between the GoI and the NSCN (I-M), there were only three Groups- NNC,NSCN (I-M) and NSCN (K). Now the number of groups is increased to eight groups. We wanted all of them to have a conglomerated Democratic Government and they also attempted to do it but it was a failure.
Even if they could not get united to form a Government, if the ongoing talk is based on the Naga National principle, it is on behalf of all of the Nagas whether National workers or the general public, that is all are inclusive and no one is exclusive. So all of the Naga people have to support it to be successful. But genuineness is buried and hatred is allowed to prevail. So the ongoing political talk has not been given weightage and many people were sceptic that the talk will arrive at a settlement. After seeing the progressive development of the talk, the people pressed hard for inclusion of all national workers and the wise interlocutor is sagaciously dealing with the situation that the aspiration of the people is being met and it is hoped that it will pave the way for bringing about a settlement earlier than expected.
All of the Nagas are one and to be counted as one and if there is anyone who has sectarian or divisive attitude, he or she is not worthy to be called a national worker. Having too many sovereign Groups has weakened the stand of the Nagas for sovereignty. So unity is the need of the day.
