GPRN/NSCN welcomes People Support Group (NNWPSG); Reaffirms Naga Reconciliation

The Naga National Workers Peoples Support Group (NNWPSG) was formed in 2008. The members, comprising of hundreds of National Workers from IM faction, walked out on their own volition and decided to support and propagate the idea of reconciliation and unity among the Nagas. As Naga national workers, the likeminded national workers who formed the NNWPSG felt that killing among the Naga brothers could never be justified no matter the differences that exist. It was an absolute call to all political groups to transform volatile and conflicting society into a reconciled nation possessing inalienable history and political right. National workers who severed ties with IM and formed NNWPSG wanted to translate Naga Reconciliation Process into reality. The members were convinced that Naga Nation can never be built upon the gains of factional battles.
NNWPSG was also formed with the firm knowledge that the Naga people, irrespective of region, tribe and artificial boundaries, yearns for a political solution to Indo-Naga political problem. A new thought, a new vision emerged, higher and nobler than violent factional fighting. NNWPSG became a temporary pressure group formed voluntarily to oppose violence among Naga brothers. The supreme desire of the Naga people is for Reconciliation, Peace and Unity. Any nation aspiring to be free from alien domination must first reconcile from within. A tiger that kills its cubs may be aggressive but its future is doomed. Naga people’s prayers, trust and contributions towards their political struggle, over the decades, should not be erased by the blood of the victims of factional clashes. NNWPSG believes that reconciliation, peace and unity in Naga homeland would usher in trustworthy generations to entrench and defend the Naga National cause.
The humble support that NNWPSG offered to the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR), since its inception, is for the Nagas to judge. NNWPSG chose to be a signatory to the “Journey of Common Hope” because it was the will of the Nagas. NNWPSG has also participated in more than seven (7) consultative meetings under the FNR at home and abroad. The Covenant of Reconciliation signed by Chairman S.S Khaplang, Chairman Isak Chishi Swu, Kedhake Brig. (Retd) Singnya, was a great historic achievement appreciated by every single Naga. The Unconditional merger of GPRN/NSCN and FGN at Monyakshu on 15th July, 2010, further strengthened the belief that the Naga political groups could reconcile. The meeting of two Ato Kilonsers, namely, N Kitovi Zhimomi and Th. Muivah at Dimapur on 18th September 2010, was an answer to the prayers of peace loving Nagas. On 14th December 2010, the leaders of three Naga political groups namely, GPRN/NSCN, NNC and FGN issued a joint declaration, committing themselves to unconditional unity. When such historic milestones are taking place, NNWPSG considers the hand of God regrouping the Naga people. It would be unwise on the part of Naga patriotic men and women to stay mute observers.
While appreciating all Naga political groups for showing real commitment and determination towards fulfilling the “Journey of Common Hope” The NNWPSG, having thoroughly deliberated among the members, recognizes that the GPRN/NSCN, under the leadership of Chairman SS Khaplang and General Secretary N Kitovi Zhimomi, from the very inception of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) have demonstrated true leadership by upholding the Covenant of Reconciliation in letter and spirit. NNWPSG acknowledges the commitment of the GPRN/NSCN to await a reconciled and united Naga groups prior to initiating any political dialogue with the GOI as wise. In order to strengthen the Naga reconciliation process and to contribute meaningfully to the great cause of the Naga nation, the rank and file of NNWPSG, on their own volition, have pledged to join GPRN/NSCN unconditionally.
