Dimapur, Oct 27 (MExN): The Chakhesang Students’ Union has questioned the motive of Naga underground groups fighting for ‘factional supremacy’ in public areas without respect for sentiment of the people.
“The Chakhesang Students’ Union fails to understand the motive of the Naga national workers who endlessly tussle for factional supremacy in civil inhabited areas without any respect and concern to the appeals of the Nagas not to fight in civil areas and also maintain cordial co-existence” the union, through its President Vevoyi D Vadeo and Speaker Meze Koza stated in a release.
While acknowledging that factions are an “unfortunate reality of the Naga problem,” CSU reminded that no factional killing has done any good for the Naga people. Killings amongst the Naga national workers speak volumes of how they have become the biggest destroyers of the Naga nationalism, CSU stated adding that bloodshed or lives lost in course of factional fight cannot be counted as martyrs of the Nagas. “Nagas will not gain from fratricidal fights and killings. There is no conqueror and a hero in a Naga killing another Naga. Many have shed their precious blood and had martyred with a vision to let the Nagas live a free people, today sadly that movement had turn out to be a movement to annihilate the Nagas” it lamented.
The CSU while sharing the aspiration of the Nagas to live together as one people in dignity and honour with the natural right of nationhood, also strongly condemned the ongoing factional clashes, especially the recent incidents at Zunheboto and Chesezu Village under Phek district.
“While calling upon all the right-thinking Nagas to daringly stand to retrieve the Naga society, the Chakhesang Students’ Union once again appeals for reconciliation amongst Naga factions and to stop shedding blood amongst the Nagas in the name of the Naga cause. We desire to witness the competency of the Naga national workers, displaying the respect for the Nagas yearning for peace” the organization appealed while praying to the Almighty that good sense would prevail over the hatred and ‘blind fury’.
