Gen (retd) Niki Sumi
President, NSCN/GPRN
In the name of our creator and Jesus Christ, greetings and revolutionary salute to all Nagas on this momentous and auspicious day of Naga Independence.
On this day, as always we remember all our unsung and fallen martyrs who gave their all so that we, the living Nagas and the generations to come can call ourselves as a people and a nation.
We give our deepest respect and honour to all Naga political groups irrespective of factions for the defending the rights of Naga people with courage and vitality.
Thousands of Naga men, women and children have suffered and sacrificed for our aspiration to determine our future and to proclaim our right as a nation.
NSCN/GPRN pledges to all orphans and widows on whose tears and blood our nation was built that NSCN/GPRN reaffirm our commitment to never waver from defending our God given political rights as long as Nagas exist.
For a long time Naga people have endured untold suffering and we cannot allow our future generations to be faced with the same. Therefore, today, as we stand at a crucial juncture, we have retrospect our past, learn from it, resonate together and make a collective decision to pursue practical approach towards resolving the Indo-Naga issue.
It is the opportune moment in our history to wake up from our slumber and unite in Christ which is the only way forward to achieve our aspirations; there is no other way.
Without unity there can be no permanent peace and prosperity or whatsoever. No accords/agreements of uniqueness or contemporary realities cannot be achieved in principle without unity.
NSCN/GPRN reiterates our stance of inclusivity of peace and political settlement in all our Naga lands.
Kuknalim!
