DIMAPUR, MARCH 19 (MExN): In his speech which is to be read out when the FGN celebrates its 50th Republic Day on March 22, the Kedaghe (President) of the organization S Signya says, “The much hyped ongoing peace talks between the GOI and NSCN (IM) had deviated from the national principle.” The speech was made available prior to the day of celebrations. “It (talks) is only an eye wash from which we can expect no acceptable solution,” Signya says while offering that the FGN is ever ready to amicably settle the Indo-Naga political problem honourably if India will sincerely come forward. “Our people also must no longer be misled due to the false propaganda spread by some national workers who cannot realize this reality.”
Saying that he was compelled to proclaim National Emergency after taking into account the national security threats posed by factors “from both within and outside and failure of constitutional machinery,” he went on to say that “failing to uphold the National Yehzabo (constitution) and demeaning the mandate of our people by some National Workers is our folly.”
In greeting his ‘countrymen’, the FGN President says, “How noble is the event when on this day in 1956, our people had pledged and committed our nation to govern ourselves and live by upholding our cultural and traditional values which is the essence of our identity and unitedly defend individual and national liberty.” Because of that solemn pledge taken fifty years ago, thousands of patriots have laid down their lives, Signya requests, “I call upon each and every one of you to join me in paying our due homage to them which is the least we can do today.”
