GPRN/NSCN affirms right to self-determination

To observe 9th Unification Day at Khehoi Designated Camp, invites Tribal Hohos and Civil Societies   DIMAPUR,

DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 17 (MExN): The GPRN/NSCN is set to observe the 9th Unification Day at Khehoi Designated Camp on November 22.  

A press note from the MIP of the GPRN/NSCN has extended invitations to all apex organisations of Nagaland, including Tribe Hohos, GBs, interdenominational religious associations, mother’s associations, student bodies, non-Naga community associations in Nagaland, Naga social welfare associations, media groups and well wishers of Naga political right.  

It stated that the GPRN/NSCN under the leadership of Chairman Gen (Retd.) MB Neokpao Konyak and General Secretary N Kitovi Zhimomi has made it clear that “practical wisdom and necessity has forced Myanmar Naga leaders and Southern Naga Leaders to pursue peace deals with Myanmar and GoI respectively.” “The alternative political arrangements however do not meet the desire and political aspiration of the tribes living in present Nagaland state,” it added.  

The GPRN/NSCN, it stated “while affirming the right to self determination of all Nagas irrespective of artificial boundaries, believes that the tribes in the present state of Nagaland must exercise their inherent right to decide any political arrangement, as is visible in Myanmar Naga areas and Naga areas in Manipur (which is in the offing).”  

“Where necessary it is natural for Nagas of Nagaland to sit down together and discuss their future existence pending final political solution encompassing all Naga inhabited areas,” it added.
