DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 11 (MExN): Expressing serious concern over the ‘Azha’ passed on Dr. S. C Jamir and Alemtemshi terming them as “anti-people” and “anti-national” by the NSCN (IM), the Chakhesang Public Organisation today called for the spirit of ‘forgive and forget’.
While appreciating the concern of the NSCN (IM) over the controversial issue raised in the booklet ‘Bedrock of Naga Society’, CPO President Yesonu Veyie in a press release stated that ‘No amount of difference is beyond reason to resolve in the spirit of ‘forgive and forget.’
Talking about the importance to respect the right to freedom of thought, speech and expression, CPO President said that ‘The view and opinion expressed by any group or individuals are the inherent culture and traditional ways of life and should be considered positively.’ The CPO therefore, asks the NSCN (IM) to respect the customary and traditional knot enjoyed by the respective community and revoke the ‘Azha’ in the larger interest of the Nagas.
As observed, the release added that the issue have been closed and put to rest by the NPCC both in the public and in the State Legislative Assembly in the session. However, the CPO further expressed in the release that it fails to understand the intention of the NSCN (IM) for dragging Alemtemshi Jamir’s involvement in the book as well as in the whole issue.
