Dimapur, December 15 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) has pointed out that as far as Naga unification goes it will “always stand tall with all honesty and commitment” and that it was “all the more exhilarated when all the Naga tribes stand for Naga unification and reconciliation”. Terming this as encouraging, the NSCN (IM) in a press note stated that this must be translated into something concrete.
It however termed as unfortunate that in the name of Naga unification the name of “Tangkhul” is being used in ‘very bad taste’ while pointing out that there was no iota of truth in accusing the “Tangkhuls” as standing on the opposite side of Naga unification. “This is absolutely misleading and does not augur well for the healthy development of Naga unification. And Nagas in general should not be taken back by such unfounded and misdirected concept on the Tangkhuls”, the NSCN (IM) stated.
It pointed out that in the campaign for Naga unification one must learn to be “humanistic and not communally bombastic” and that there was no point to spread “tribalism venom while the unification process is being studied”. The NSCN (IM) termed this as uncalled for and that it smacked of “unwarranted communal campaigns that only tarnish the unification process”.
The NSCN (IM) urged that maturity of approach and honesty of commitment should guide the Naga nation in search of lasting unity. “Because of the complexities involved it demands such level of moral attachment and transparency. NSCN is committed by the people’s aspiration that “Nagas are one and let none divide us”, it stated.
