DIMAPUR, MAY 24 (MExN): Following the receipt of a letter from the office of the Watsu Mungdang on May 3 2007, and the subsequent report which appeared in The Morung Express on May 8, 2007, under the caption; “Watsu Mundang extends olive branch to NMA”, the Naga Mothers’ Association informed that it had also been doing its share of informal consultation and deliberating on the issues surrounding this “strained relationship” between NMA and WM for the last many years.
“In this regard, the NMA would in all its sincerity reciprocate the close of this stand-off as indicated in its Silver Jubilee Resolution under clause (C) which states; “this matter is brought to a conclusion on the occasion of the 2007 WM Silver Jubilee”, April 19, 2007, by agreeing and re-enforcing with what the former president of WM reportedly stated “not intended to judge who is right or wrong, but simply in the spirit of ‘let bygones be bygones.’”
A press communiqué issued by Khesheli Chishi, president and Lochumbeni Humtsoe, joint secretary, NMA stated that it has been always on the fore-front with other Naga civil society organizations for peace, unity and reconciliation etc. with its slogan “shed no more blood” and that despite the many human limitations, “this development will be a land-mark in the history of NMA, for which we express our appreciation to the Watsu Mundang leadership and invite them to further share their valuable potentials towards the betterment of our society in general”.
