It pointed out that the Naga people have suffered for a long time. “It has been more than seven decades of conflict and several years of ceasefire and dialogue, however, the problem and attempts to find a permanent solution has eluded us all these years. This cycle of disturbance has bred generations of disturbed young Nagas whose potentialities for positive life have been under mined which in turn has jeopardized their own future,” t he NCD lamented.
It asserted that the voice and wishes of the Naga people including the mass based civil societies, church organizations, tribal Hohos and political parties is to have permanent peace and lasting solution to the Naga issue at the earliest.
It therefore urged the Government of India to “honour the mandate of the Naga people and sincerely expedite the talks to offer a lasting solution acceptable to all sections of the Naga people at the earliest.”
