Also speaking on the theme of the jubilee ‘Celebrating Oneness’, Convenor organizing committee D.Besii said that “it is not numbers of clans or khels or villages or tribes but our common vision and united efforts towards achieving this aspiration of ‘oneness’ that binds us together. A common vision guided by the power of truth and wisdom of our elders which ensures the people liberty, justice, peace and human dignity”.
“From the plains of Brahmaputra to the Chindwin and from the Patkai to the Shiroi the common aspiration of the Nags to live as a free nation is the premise of Naga oneness” he further added. Though the Nagas are devided by artificial boundaries, the Naga nation is one because no force on earth can remove the beacon in our hearts that is calling out for Naga to be free in oneness. It is the Naga spirit that holds the key to the oneness of Naga nationhood” he added.
