On taking the charge of working President, Naga People’s Front, Manipur Unit, I the undersigned would like to declare before fellow Nagas in Manipur that in all humility and prayerfulness, I have accepted the challenge of onerous responsibility given to me as the working President of the Naga People’s Front (NPF), Manipur. In so accepting to take the call of this challenge, I fervently believe that NPF is a political party driven by the spirit and ideal of true humanity seeking self expression and fulfillment of our legitimate (constitutionally permissible) democratic right to live together as one people.
I fervently believe that the NPF stands committed to redeeming the honour & dignity of our people from imminent danger of being smothered by forces inimical to the progress &well-being of the Nagas.
I fervently believe that the Nagas in Manipur, in particular have, all this while, suffered humiliation, discrimination, shame & pain just for the reason of wanting to be ourselves. I trust that the NPF stands committed to retrieving and consolidating the position of the Nagas as a united people. In so cherishing our legitimate goal we do not seek confrontation with our neighbours nor do we mean harming them in anyway. History has now reached a point of no return with unmistakable conclusion “enough is enough”, and it is now for every self respecting Naga to rise in unison to take the call of saving our people from imposed fragmentation and eventual demise of our history, culture & identity.
Nagas for no fault of ours have, all this while suffered beyond description “divide and rule” through manipulation, deceit and treachery. Are we ourselves responsible for the pain and shame that we have been going through by allowing ourselves to be manipulated and used as stooges? It is long overdue that we stand united, come what may and thwart the evil design of the inimical forces (both within & without) who do not want our progress and do not respect honour &dignity of our people. NPF has now arrived on our political landscape as a common platform for all Nagas to ameliorate with a clarion call, “come let us rise together and stand united in saving and protecting with honour and dignity for the posterity”.
May God bless us.
