Dimapur, August 16 (MExN): The NPGN/NNC (N/A) observed the 70th Naga Independence Day at Zuheshe Village on August 14 with great honour and jubilation
According to a press release from MIP Kilonser, N Mar Ao, leaders and well wishers from different social societies and churches attended the function.
Ato Kilonser Z. Hozeto graced the function as Chief Guest while President Temjenyanger Aier was special guest of honour.
The chief guest in his speech stressed on the need of inclusiveness and participation of all stakeholders so as to bring about an amicable solution to the long protracted Naga Political issue that is acceptable to the entire citizens of Nagaland, the release stated.
He asserted that Nagas have never been under any foreign colonial subjugation at any point of time and strongly condemned the military act (AFSPA) under which thousands of lives have been killed and tortured. “Indian soldiers can kill Nagas however they cannot kill sovereign status of the independence of the Nagas and their right to freedom,” the release mentioned him as saying.
Meanwhile, President Aier in his speech urged Nagas to retrospect the past events and learn lessons from the past mistakes. He expressed hope that the entire NPGs will unite under a common platform and the future political aspects will be decided by honouring each other in the spirit of love, unity and forgiveness.
He also encouraged the members present to be sincere and honest and render selfless service for the common cause of Nagas. He highlighted the activities of the NPGN/NNC (N/A) up to international level and encouraged the members not to be afraid of manpower but to fear God and work according to His will.
