Dimapur, December 14 (MExN): The “unification” move of the NSCNs is not an outcome of a sudden, particular phenomenon but a “co-related political prerogative” the unification group of the NSCN has stated adding that the “23rd November 2007 unification declaration at Hovishe village is definitely a historical landmark and a step ahead toward ultimate political solution”. Unification of the Nagas has not only evolved a significant elevation of Nagas’ political status but has also set precedence for the GoI to prioritize the settlement of the Indo-Naga political issue”, a note from the “publicity cell, GPRN, NSCN” stated while asserting that unification had always been the prior prerequisite of the entire Naga spectrum over the years. “The legitimacy of the ongoing truce between the GoI and NSCN groups, one led by Isak Swu and the other by SS Khaplang should not be jeopardized by any anti-peace elements and the GoI must honor the agreement” the NSCN (unification) further stated.
The “NSCN” explained that the Naga unification is aimed at putting to stop the bloodshed and fratricidal killings between the Nagas. For this, any individual, group, organization or community that goes against the “same spirit” and attempts to derail it will be committing a grave historical and political calamity, it stated.
Pointing out since the partition of the Nagas into several groups and factions, “Nagas have been insisting on prior unification of the Sumis on ground that the Sumis comprises of majority in all the groups”, it stated that the “Sumis have today proved their worth so as to pave way for unification of all the Nagas and thus the question of any backdoor or clandestine affair on communal lines does not arise at all”.
Stating that “where there is peace people provoke war, where there is war peace is desired”, it pointed out that it was “crystal clear what the Nagas aspires and what we have and will achieve with this unification”. With concerted effort, the NSCN group urged to build a united “Nagaland for Christ” and “for all.”
