Calls for creating a platform to facilitate amicable solution
Dimapur, May 18 (MExN): Giving a clarion call for unity and resolving to “initiate and work towards” bringing a Permanent Peace based on unity, the Nagaland GB Federation (NGBF) today stated that, “Any another political blunder leading to bloodshed cannot be tolerated by the Nagas.”
The decision for the same was taken at the federation’s meeting here today at Hotel Saramati Dimapur, informed a press release from Media Cell NGBF.
While urging for peace and unity, it said there are certain points which needs to be addressed before initiating the mission since the Naga’s decades old problem has become more complex because of emergence of numerous factions. “It is only rational to have doubts and apprehension amongst Nagas in view of what our Naga socio-political affair had witnessed in the past and the consequences for which we have all been facing till today,” it added.
Further noting that the Naga political groups have not emerged overnight and it was the culmination of all Naga’s dream for a politically liberalized society, free from all outside forces, NGBF said, “Today’s Naga political issue stands of ‘Uniqueness of Naga history’ is being preserved by the Naga Customary law custodian and guardian with their sacrifices till today.”
“The Naga customary law and tradition, under which article 371(A) is founded on, are the outcome of our fore-father’s rich culture and legacies which were carried on without wavering.”
In this regard, the federation maintained that understanding the ground realities is very essential to solve the Naga’s problem saying “Any another Political blunder leading to bloodshed cannot be tolerated by the Nagas.”
Consequently, maintaining that since efforts of initiative actions taken by various organizations to solve the issue have passed or concluded without any fruitful result, it stressed that, “Unless we are united, our Naga political issue will have problem.”
NGBF as a “fatherly figure,” appealed to all section of Naga societies, from grass-root level such as village councils, Tribal’s Hohos and all the frontal organizations of Nagaland “to join hands with us and create a platform for facilitating for amicable solution.”
This platform, the federation said, should be based on “understanding, spirit of love and Unity, accepting the ground realities and work out towards our common goal.”
