Newmai News Network Senapati | November 14 The United Naga Council (UNC) President Gaidon Kamei stated that “the time has come for the Government of India to prove its political will to settle the Indo-Naga political issue in order to bring peace, progress, stability and security in the region.” He was addressing the UNC Council Assembly on November 10 held at Bujuur Aanchung Puh (Moyon Naga Council) Hall at Kapaam (Komlathabi) in Chandel district, Manipur. He further added that “at this most crucial juncture, we should not give or create any room for our adversaries to sabotage the hard earned historic Indo-Naga Framework Agreement”. “There is a strong political question that the Government of India is treating the Indo-Naga political issue as an insurmountable problem”, he said. The assembly adopted several resolutions. One of the resolutions reaffirmed the earlier decision of the UNC to roll back the 7 districts created by the Manipur Government two years ago. The UNC assembly also reaffirmed and support the “hard earned historic Indo-Naga Framework Agreement signed on August 3, 2015”. The UNC assembly then urged “both the negotiating parties to bring the Naga political issue to a logical conclusion at the earliest”. “With reference to the resolution number 8 of the UNC Council Assembly of April 5 and the resolution number 5 of the UNC Presidential Council Meeting of July 20; the house approved the affiliation of Aimol Tribe Union, UIPO (Khoibu) Maruo Koukartou, Liangmai Naga Council, Rongmei Naga Council and Zeme Naga Council.” One of the resolutions said, “In view of the prevailing political situation in the present State of Manipur the house reviewed and resolved not to allow or extend any form of support and co-operation to un-mandated/unauthorised organisations or forum that could dilute the established Naga political position”. The UNC Council Assembly also “discussed and reaffirmed the resolution 4(ii) of the UNC Presidential Council meeting held on August 13 that ‘the Naga people will not accept the existing international boundary pillars erected between India and Myanmar as they were erected without the knowledge and consent of the indigenous Naga tribal people....and that, all the existing boundary pillars should be reviewed and resurveyed and re-demarcated historically”.
