DIMAPUR, JANUARY 27 (MExN): The Widows Federation of the NSCN (IM) has urged Prime Minister, Narendra Modi to “make violence a thing of the past.”
In a letter to the PM, the Widows Federation stated that the Nagas in general and the “widows of war in particular,” are in “positive frame of mind as we closely study the unfolding development with regard to the ongoing Indo-Naga political talks that is being guided and monitored by you.”
It noted that during the last seventy two years of Naga political struggle and twenty three years of Indo-Naga political talks, “our hearts have cried for the final solution because we have seen enough of fighting and killings.”
“It is time to say enough is enough. No more fighting, no more killing and let there be no more widows and fatherless children,” it appealed. The Widows Federation further urged: "Let us admit ourselves that there is time for everything. There is time for war and there is time for peace and understanding.”
`The Widows Federation said “we would like to place ourselves in the comfort zone and look towards the days when we shall no more see the horror of war.”
“Let God forbid another bloody conflict between the Nagas and India. Let divine wisdom be upon you as you shoulder the responsibility to solve the Indo-Naga political issue in peaceful manner,” it hoped.
