Kidima, Dimapur | December 4
Nagaland Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio, today said that his government fully endorses any unity move that will benefit all Nagas. “We fully endorse any unity move. But it should be for all Nagas. We welcome unity move that are taking place”, Rio said without directly referring to the ‘unity move’ that is going on at Niuland. Speaking on the sidelines of the foundation stone laying ceremony of Kidima village Panchayat and a play ground today Rio said that opposition to the unification move doesn’t make sense. “It is just starting. Let’s first formulate. We should not give too many suggestion, it will confuse the issue”, Rio also added.
Nagaland Agriculture Minister, K Azo Neinu has also extended support to the ‘unification’ move and said that Naga brethren should extend support to the movement so long as “the movement is not confined to one single tribe alone, and also that it is a movement for unification of all Nagas and not NSCN faction alone, and also not aimed at involving in state politics”.
Azo maintained that for all practical purposes, this is one step forward to a new era and a new beginning for all the Nagas to settle their differences and hammer out a solution which will be acceptable to all the Nagas.
However, Azo asserted that in order to show their sincerity, there should be no more fratricidal killing and that the undergrounds (be of any faction) should not involve in State politics whatsoever, so that they may gain the popular support of the Naga people.
