This is an advice to Tsunthiu Yimchunger, Advisor, Western Yimchunger Hoho on his rejoinder on Intangki issue in some local papers dated July 3, 2009. Tsunthiu talked too much of Nagas of Nagaland without realizing that, he has his brothers across the so-called Myanmar (Burma) and Arunachal Pradesh borders. If the basic rights of my brothers from Myanmar and Arunachal Pradesh sides is denied and insulted, I will definitely react, and so also Tsunthiu; and if not, he (Tsunthiu) and I are not human being nor even beasts.
Secondly, say I have Sheangphan reserve forest which is under the control of Nagaland state government. In case, if the state Govt. give it back to the public, it is definitely I and the Konyak people who will inhabit it. Or, it is up to my tribe men and the Govt. whether some adjustment is made, but not men from other tribes. So also, state Govt. is going to declare SARAMATI range as Govt. reserved forest. It is up to the land owners whether or not to allow, or made some necessary adjustment with the Govt. even after it is established.
Brother Tsunthiu, we may go westward, but we must not forget the indispensable practices our fathers upheld. We, especially ENPO must not only confine or talk too much of the present existing state boundary which was demarcated in the 70s without our consent. When you talk of Nagas from Assam and Manipur with hatred, do you not realize that you hate your/our brothers and sisters from Myanmar and Arunachal Pradesh, and thereby against the interest of ENPO.
While greedy for small plot of land, do not poke your nose on the wall, brother Tsunthiu.
Naomei Konyak
