Kohima, February 13 (MExN): On World Radio Day, February 13, the Chief Minister of Nagaland decided to go the Prime Minister of India way to address a simmering Nagaland State.
“Let us put our heads together to build the Nagaland of our dreams instead of mindless confrontation and more violence,” he stated while speaking on All India Radio (AIR) today. His speech was aired at 7:30 pm.
Chief Minister TR Zeliang appealed to “all agitating groups” today to “rise above the immediate present and consider the future”—that of ours and the younger generation. He stressed on solutions through democratic processes of negotiation, dialogue and settlement.
The CM maintained that “Tribal organisations should come forward for interactions and sharing of views and opinions without any bias or hesitation.” “We cannot, we should not, we must not sacrifice the future of the Naga society by confronting each other. After all, the larger benefit for the whole society must be given more importance than the benefit of any individual or a few,” he said in his address.
The CM fervently appealed for the bandh to be lifted to enable students to appear for their exams as well as “let the tens of thousands of Government employees whose family members rely on their salaries for livelihood attend offices to work and draw their salaries, and at the same time, to allow the business community to carry out their normal trade to sustain themselves.”
