Leaders urged to be ‘more’ committed towards reconciliation

MOKOKCHUNG, APRIL 1 (MExN): The Concerned Senior Citizens Forum Mokokchung (CSCFM), while welcoming the signing of the Lenten Agreement between the NSCN (IM), GPRN/NSCN and the NNC/FGN, has called upon all political leaders “to be more committed and firm to the God given opportunity of one united Naga people.” While appreciating the “tireless spirit” of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation, it urged all the Naga organizations, churches and citizens to partake in the unity and reconciliation move.

A press note from the forum stated that the Lenten Agreement is “yet another welcoming steps towards our most desired aspiration.” It added that since the initiative of the FNR, “we have seen all the different Naga Groups pledging to undertake the journey of common hope; we have also seen formation of Naga National Government in the Naga Concordant.”

“Having committed to bury all the differences and unitedly fight for the Naga rights, we the Naga citizens fully endorse faith and support for Naga reconciliation. But only to be baffled in the Naga public reconciliation meet February 29, 2012, where some of the Naga leaders had clearly shown their ulterior motives against the interest of the Nagas and against the commitment they have made for our Nation,” the forum lamented. It stated that the “leaders of the Indian nation have time and again demonstrated their non-commitment to resolve the Naga political issue.”

“Naga people cannot be fooled for all the time in the name of ceasefire and peace so as loyalty, support and prayer cannot be just wasted in the name of many declarations and reconciliations unless it is a genuine one,” it asserted. The forum further declared that “no government or leaders can have the ultimate right for the Naga people but the Naga people only.”
