DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 27 (MExN): The Naga Hoho (NH) today stated that the Pan Naga Hoho “will serve the Nagas’ interests and aspirations in much broader ways and stronger terms.”
A press release from the Naga Hoho communication cell stated that the “collective expression made by Naga leaders and public of the past for united Nagaland is irrevocable, irreversible and indelible.”
“Inclusive and robust structure in the form of Pan Naga Hoho will give Nagas immense strength to address various issues in the larger interest of all sections of Naga family,” it stated. It further added that a Pan Naga platform will be “definitely liberating, empowering, ensuring the freedom and development of all sections of Nagas. The fear created by self or by others through one sided prejudice speculations need to be broadened.”
It meanwhile called upon the Naga people to embrace that the narrative of Naga historical and political rights includes Nagas everywhere.
“The very Nagaland was and is the common aspirations. Nagas at this crucial juncture must acknowledge the necessity of safeguarding rich common heritage for which our founding fathers and mothers stood for against the repressive and oppressive forces,” it stated.
The rich common heritage, it said, cannot be just reduced to “piecemeal solutions that limit to particular region.”
The Nagas, it said, had shouldered the responsibilities together as struggling people across the length and breadth of their land.
“Therefore, the platform which integrates the Nagas from all the regions will definitely strengthen the Nagas all the more rather than weakening or overpowering certain regions by others,” it claimed.
The Naga Hoho meanwhile called upon young Nagas not to be “swayed by emotions but by applying their minds, searching their souls need to embrace the rich Naga common heritage that will take the Nagas towards freedom, progress and prosperity.” It urged for the building of a “grand Naga alliance” amongst young Nagas from various regions “harnessing the opportunity that is at hand.”
