‘No group is blameless’
DIMAPUR, AUGUST 19 (MExN): The NBCC has stated that it was disturbed by the “Quit Notice” issued by the regional heads of NSCN (K) to a particular community to immediately leave the State of Nagaland, and has appealed to the NSCN (K) to reconsider the quit notice for the sake of the future of the Naga people. NBCC General Secretary Zhabu Terhuja in a press communiqué pointed out that the quit notice was reckless and could result in immediate harm and serious complications for future Nagas.
“The hurts and bitterness felt by the different tribes for serious wrongs done to one another over the years are not disputed. They are real. They must be acknowledged and healed, not misused to cause greater damage by perpetuating revenge”, the NBCC stated. Rev Terhuja suggested that instead of provoking the worst reactions from one another, the Nagas must now turn God’s searchlight on themselves first to see where they too have hurt and embittered others. “This is the great way of the Cross we are called to walk to achieve healing and reconciliation. This will be more productive, and urgently needed”, he appealed. Rev Terhuja stated that “we are all guilty of seeing so clearly where others are wrong but are unwilling to see or admit where we too are wrong which God and others see”. “Dealing courageously with our wrongs first is God’s way. Let us do it before it is too late. No group is blameless”, the NBCC stated.
