Dimapur, November 10 (MExN): With the lament that warning Naga underground groups are not responding to the call for peace, they are reminded to honor the ‘call for peace’ by translating the same into action.
The GB Federation Nagaland stated today that the peace initiative of the GBs and DBs to stopping bloodshed between the factions is a noble endeavor and needs to be appreciated. However the factions have yet to respond positively despite all appeals, rallies and fasting and prayers, lamented the federation through its advisor GB TL Angami. “Clearly more needs to be done. In fact the call for peace should not remain at the call-level or passing of resolution-level,” the federation asserted. He explained an instance of peace commitments translated into action: “For example, a report emanating from Phek district stated that a particular village has not only (called) for unity of UG factions but had also refused to pay any taxes to any factions till they are united.”
Also stating that the joint forum’s initiative or the GBs and DBs are in a better position to translate peace into action at the grass-root level, the federation also reminded that prudence be exercised without fear or favor. “May God grant wisdom to all of them to bring real peace in our land” the federation prayed.
