DIMAPUR MAY 13 (MExN): The Naga Students Union Delhi has affirmed that the mass Integration Rally organised by the United Naga Council (UNC) in the four Naga Hill districts of Manipur, viz., Chamdil (Chandel), Hunphun (Ukhrul), Lenglong (Tamenglong) and Tamhajam (Senapati) in support of the Indo-Naga political negotiations truly conforms to the Nagas’ aspiration to live together as one people under a single political unit.
According to Chitho Nyusou, President NSUD, “It is regrettable that the Indian Government has neglected to respect the July 11, 2002 official recognition of the ‘Unique history and situation of the Nagas’ in Amsterdam in Holland.”
He further stated that the Indian Government has been employing dilly-dallying tactics for the past eight years with no concrete decision on substantive issues including the question of integration of all Naga contiguous areas which was the main reason for holding the Integration Rally.
“We, the Naga students in Delhi, would like to appeal to Indian civil societies, political parties, intelligentsia, media and citizens to show their sincere solidarity and give their invaluable support to the initiatives and efforts of the Indian Government and the Nagas to bring an honourable and lasting permanent political solution.
At this crucial juncture we would like to appeal to the International Community to intervene into the peace process to safeguard the rights of the Naga indigenous people”, stated the release.
The rally was supported by major Naga organisations like the Naga Hoho, Naga Students’ Federation, Naga Peoples’ Movement for Human Rights, Naga Mothers’ Association, All Naga Students’ Association, Manipur, Naga Mothers’ Union, Manipur and other Naga civil society organisations and bodies across 'Nagalim' stated the release.
