DIMAPUR, DECEMBER 16 (MExN): The Chairman and President of the NSCN (K), SS Khaplang along with all the rank and file have conveyed Christmas greetings to every Naga “across the length and breadth.”
A press note from the MIP of the GPRN/NSCN stated that “at this testing time of our sojourn for national liberation, may the birth of Jesus Christ renew our faith and hope and re-strengthen our resolve to carry on ahead our mission without faltering.”
“Even though the gloom and cruelty of Indian militarization pervades our land may the true spirit of Christ overcome the shadows of fear and enable each of us to celebrate the coming of the redeemer into the world with elation and joyous spirit,” it added.
“May the gracious blessings of Christmas also comfort the agony and painful emptiness of those families who have lost fathers, sons and daughters to decades of struggle against the horrors of forceful occupation of our country,” it said. The NSCN (K) further conveyed greetings to “revolutionary fraternities of WSEA and to all the struggling people across the globe.”
“Even as we prepare to welcome the birth of the Prince of peace into our midst, let us allow Christ to be born into our lives so that we may continue to commit and uphold our National obligation and strive for ultimate national deliverance under the sacred banner Nagaland for Christ,” it encouraged.
With renewed vigour and uncompromising faith in Christ, the NSCN (K) urged the Naga people to “march into the promising year 2017.”
