Hear our plea

• Sir-The BJP called on the Centre to take action against the agitators of the economic blockade and deploy the Army to provide escort to all the vehicles carrying goods across to Imphal valley. The Home Minister’s statement to assist the Meities (Manipuris) and the Centre turning a deaf ear to the injustice done to the Nagas in Manipur. What is the Centre trying to tell us? The Manipuris are so disparaging and aggressive and yet the Centre is willing to yield to their tantrums and wimps. They have become the Centre’s spoilt, selfish, greedy, glutton and fattened baby. The Centre has done babysitting of the Manipuris for too long. How long will the Centre allow the Manipuris to inflict the Nagas?

ANSAM’s spearheading the economic blockade is moving in a very mature manner. They are to be respected and regarded and none should term their action as illegal. Every citizen, every community, people and race has a right to voice their grievances, appeal for their rights and seek justice. Because, democracy is of the people by the people and for the people. But the Manipuris seems to tell us that, democracy is of the Manipuris, by the Manipuris and for the Manipuris and the Centre seems to be nodding “Yes, Yes”. 

If the Centre is saying yes, it is because the Manipuris are Hindus? It is an indirect attack on the Christians because Nagaland has been declared as “Nagaland for Christ”. Is the Centre telling us to believe in the survival of the fittest? Has not the Naga representatives to the Centre clearly placed it to them the desire of the Nagas to live under one roof.

The former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had announced that Nagas integration would depend on the political consensus, so on “the solidarity day” thousand of the Nagas had gone out to show their solidarity on the 16 June 2005, defying the Curfew order No. 144 imposed on the Nagas. It was to show the desire of the Nagas to live under one administrative unit. The Nagas are like the birds with broken wings, we want to fly and soar high but we can’t because of lack of education and non-availabilities of facilities.

Let the dreams of the great man and the Nobel Price winner Poet Late Rabindranath Tagore be fulfilled, which he wrote in his poem book “Geetanjali “where the mind is without Fear and head is held high (Pertaining to a man of nobility) ……………Where the reason have not lost

Into the sand of sea …………Into that land father lead my country”.

Let not religion be the reason for the Centre to keep the Nagas in the clutches of the Manipuris. The Nagas does not have any objection to Manipuris integrity, so why are the Manipuris objecting to the Integration of the Nagas. Whatsoever let there be peace by doing the right thing at the right time.
