Gandhi Jayanti is also observed as the International Day of Non- Violence by the United Nation all over the world.
Senior Citizen, R.C Chiten Jamir while speaking on the function said, “The whole world is racing the problem of active and passive corruptions. The moral of the people is degrading, especially of the public leaders. Both in the government and the administration there is over-crowdness, over administration but very little public service.”
There is no other option for Nagas but only peace he further added.
He also said, “In Nagaland, if we want to leave a future for our children, a happier Nagaland blessed with peace, progress and prosperity then in our generation we must shun violence of all sorts and determine to make Nagaland Violence Free and become more sensitive to wrong doings. We must stop consenting to easier ways”.
Associate Pastor Lotha Baptist Church, Dimapur Yanbemo Ovung said that ‘tribalism is killing the Nagas.’ There is no inner peace among the Nagas and ‘Tribalism’ is making the unrest worst. The only way out is to walk in the principles of non-violence he added.
