Imphal, Jan 17:
The Naga Students’ Federation had stated that the NNPGs and the NSCN(IM) had publicly declared their ‘unconditional commitment to collaborate on the basis of the respective agreements, with immediate effect, for resolution of the Naga historical and political rights’ with the Government of India and appreciated the decision.
“This is in furtherance of the ‘September Joint Accordant’ of 14 September 2022 which paved the way for the formation of ‘Council of Naga Relationships and cooperation’ led by Convenor of NNPGs and the Chairman of NSCN, ‘to explore, at the earliest, realistic ways for Nagas to move forward on the basis of Naga historical and political rights’”, a statement b NSF said.
The statement further added that this development comes as a booster for the Naga public to shed our differences and ceaselessly work towards ensuring that lasting peace is brought about in our Naga homeland, through the healing of our spirits. Despite this welcoming development, the NSF is dismayed at the continued delay tactics been adopted by the GOI in the negotiation process to hammer out the differences with the Naga negotiators pertaining to the key core issues of the Naga National Flag and Constitution.
The Federation reiterate its earlier stand to never accept a ‘forced solution’ and that the impending negotiated solution should ensure that the dignity and rights of every single Naga soul is respected and upheld.
The NSF demanded to the GOI to exhibit utmost sincerity and commitment in the negotiation process so as to ensure that the aspiration of the Naga people for an Inclusive, Honorable and Acceptable Solution to the protracted Indo-Naga Political issue is brought about without any further delay.
The Federation while extending our warmest New Year greetings to the Naga people also fervently appeal to everyone to be mindful of individuals publicly indulging in rhetoric, either in words or actions, pertaining to the Indo-Naga Political issue.
“We have to zealously guard our cause which is legitimate, just, fair and righteous from the lure of these individuals, tirelessly scheming with our adversaries, to undermine it. Their distorted tales should no longer confuse us. Instead, we should fearlessly advocate our inalienable historical and political rights’ to the world at large”, the statement said.
