NSCN (R) celebrates 6th foundation day
DIMAPUR, MAY 19 (MExN): The NSCN (R) today celebrated its 6th foundation day with President, Y Wangtin Naga extending “revolutionary salute” on behalf of all rank and file of the NSCN (R).
In his speech, which was issued to the media, the NSCN (R) President stated that “no matter what, I appeal to all my fellow leaders, comrades and brethrens to let bygone be bygone and let us all work together in unison.”
“Since we are all aware that we may perhaps have some differences in our approach, yet we also truly know that our aims, objectives and goals are of the same target,” he added.
He appealed all to understand that “disunity is our biggest enemy and perhaps the greatest threat to our cause.” The NSCN (R) President therefore appealed to “my comrades to maintain cordial relationships with other NPGs and to bridge the gap so as to achieve our common goal as one Nation, one Entity, and one People.”
“I as a human being surely have my shortcomings and many ups and downs too but for the greater good of the Nagas, I am ready to work together as it is in my utmost desire that we reach our destination and to achieve our common goal as one strong united force,” he stated.
Meanwhile, Y Wangtin Naga said that “it was not in our intent to create another organisation that adds more burden to the people.” This was constrained, he claimed, as he was “subjected to mental torture and physical harrasment by the Indian security agents, on the grounds that Late SS Khaplang had abrogated Ceasefire Agreements and had started to attack the Indian Army.”
“Let alone consulting other members, even I who was the then Supervisor/Convenor of CFSB was not made known, for the reason best known to the late leader,” he said.
The NSCN (R) President however stated that the Naga people wanted ceasefire to continue at all cost, and hence he had to take into confidence of all likeminded cadres who wanted to continue with ceasefire.
“However, while in attempt to facilitate and to broker peace between Nagas and GoI, the camp was unfortunately divided into pro-peace and against-peace. I sincerely salute all my comrades who with their unwavering spirits, stood their grounds undeterred and supported me all along this common journey of ours,” he added.
