DIMAPUR, MARCH 21 (MExN): President of the NNC/GDRN (Non Accord), Kiumukam Yimchunger today stated that the coming together of six Naga National Political Groups (NNPGs) and the subsequent formation of the Working Group on December 14, 2016 is a step in the right direction.
In his speech to mark Naga Republic Day, he expressed “optimism that other Naga Political groups outside our fold would join us in the coming days.”
“I appeal to all the Nagas for your goodwill and prayers towards the betterment of the Working Group. Posterity and history will perhaps be kinder to us where others have failed for the leap of faith we have taken,” he stated.
Yimchunger further said that every Naga may not become a national worker or be expected to render a national service; nevertheless, irrespective of one’s station and calling in life, every Naga is equally responsible in the building of nationhood— economically, spiritually and aesthetically. “We may not have achieved our aspiration to live as a free nation; however, building of a strong and sound nation must not await for the ultimate victory of our struggle, as nation-building is a never ending process.”
Pointing out the present age of globalization, he stated, “we are adapting and embracing the ideals of consumerism and materialism at a very fast pace, yet, our national effort towards productivity is on a snails’ pace. To make our nation strong and stand tall, let us all endeavor towards qualitative contribution as opposed to quantitative.” He urged every Naga— Church workers, contractors, businessmen/women, technicians, scientists, teachers, doctors, workers’ skilled or unskilled, government servants— to give their best service.
