TKS sets for peace rally on November 8 to expedite Indo-Naga peace process based on the Framework Agreement

The Tangkhul Katamnao Saklong (TKS) an apex Tangkhul student body is all set to organize “One Day Peace Rally” on November 8, 2023, at Ukhrul Headquarters.
The Rally will begin at 10:00 am simultaneously from two opposite directions one from Dungrei Junction and the other one from Kharasom Junction, Hunphun.
In a press meet held at the TKS conference hall Eno. Omry Ningshen, vice president of TKS said that the proposed rally is aimed at raising a collective voice mainly for two reasons, and that is ‘to expedite Indo-Naga peace process based on the Framework Agreement’ and ‘To re-affirm that, the negotiation led by the collective leadership under the banner of NSCN/GPRN have the mandate of the Naga people’.
Amplifying their concept, Ningshen further stated that the TKS aimed to address Naga aspirations, the Naga Club, the first political organization of the Nagas was established in 1918 before India attained her independence. However, despite India’s independence for more than 7 decades, a lasting solution to the Indo-Naga conflict is still pending. Two ceasefire agreements between India and Naga, one in 1964 and another in 1997 meant to facilitate dialogue and negotiation neither resulted in positive conclusion till now. The Naga people continue to hope for a peaceful and just settlement to their long-standing issues. The Naga political journey has been marked by tears, sweat, blood, and significant sacrifice in terms of lives and property. However, the determination to achieve our initial goals has never wavered.
Notably, the negotiation process after the 2″ ceasefire resulted in a significant advancement in understanding and ultimately led to the signing of the “Framework Agreement” on 3/08/2015 by the representatives of both India and Nagas. While the Naga people anxiously await a resolution, there are forces both internal and external, diligently working to create confusion and disunity within the Naga family.
“In these challenging times, it is imperative for concerned Naga individuals to unite collectively and speak in unison. The moment has arrived for us to demonstrate our solidarity and assert collectively to expedite the peace process to the Indo-Naga issue, based on the “Framework Agreement” which is honourable and acceptable to both parties. It is also a time to reaffirm that the negotiation led by the collective leadership under the banner of NSCN/GPRN carry the unequivocal mandate of the Naga people”, Ningshen quotes.
The Saklong appeal to all the concerned Naga citizens to participate in this peace rally in unison.
