Dimapur, May 31 (MExN): The Chakhesang region of the Federal Government of Nagaland has expressed surprise over plans and proposed stay of Th. Muivah in Chakhesang areas. It is “against the feelings of the people,” the FGN stated.
“In Naga way of life we respect the culture and tradition of each other whereby we live in a federal structure of civilized existence. No Naga can be against Muivah to visit his native village Somdal or for that matter any other authority to visit one’s native place. The reality is that it is not a national subject and has got nothing to do with other people or tribes”, stated a press note issued by Suluneyi, secretary of Chakhesang region, FGN.
“As a Naga he is free to visit not only his native village but all other parts of our country sans his personal security because of his schemes and detrimental actions over the past five decades which is still fresh in the minds of the relatives of the afflicted victims”, the FGN stated.
‘The meaning of freedom of existence must not be overruled by the imposition of one’s will on the people,’ the FGN went on to state while claiming that it is the “will of our people which guides us” and that the “difference of approach to the common problem lies in this”.
“Let us all look and deduce whether any visit or prolonged stay of an authority of any political group is at the invitation of the people or the imposition of one’s will on the people”, the FGN noted.
“At this juncture of the ongoing reconciliation process in our land through the selfless efforts of the FNR, which Nagas fully support and look forward to reconciliation and unity of our people in a common cause, let no individual nor group be an impediment to the common process of our welfare”.
