DIMAPUR, SEPTEMBER 28 (MExN): While admitting that “some unwanted obstacles have occurred in between, faltering the smooth transaction of the reconciliation process”, the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) has stated that it was taking “upon itself the responsibility of all acts of commission and omission for those areas which could not be sufficiently monitored or effectively coordinated”.
In this particular regard, FNR has sought “sincere apology from the leaders of the NSCN/GPRN, for the media report which quoted Mr. Kitovi Zhimomi, the General Secretary of the GPRN/NSCN as having said that while he supports the alternative arrangement for the Southern Nagas of the present state of Manipur, his government will seek a separate solution for the present state of Nagaland”.
According to a press note issued by the FNR, this statement was quoted out of context causing “deep hurt and mistrust”. “We believe that this can be leveled only when we meet face to face. Mr. Kitovi Zhimomi, General Secretary, GPRN/NSCN, readily agrees to this as well. Further, our apology remains not only for this but for any callousness of words or actions which might have caused similar hurt and distrust”, the FNR stated.
