Addressing the gathering, Dr Khanlo Magh, President, SCAN shared his concern about the present generation’s moral values of honesty, integrity and respect for each other, particularly to elders.
He expressed regret about the “lack of opposition in the Nagaland Legislative Assembly and feared that many critical issues could be passed without debate or discussion,” stated a press release received here. Further lamenting that Naga society is “so divided, be it among the national workers or the public,” he urged the “Naga people to be strongly united and pursue their ultimate goal.”
Short speeches were delivered by Dr R Rose, General Secretary SCAN, SP Francis, Treasurer SCAN, Pankathan Lotha, Joint Secretary SCAN and former minister Zachilhü R Vadeo.
