Dimapur, December 3 (MExN): Following the emergency consultation meeting of the Naga Hoho held at Kohima on December 2, which was well-attended by federating tribes, various constituent bodies and mass-based civil society organizations and social institution, the Naga Hoho is furthering the expressed wishes and aspirations of the Naga people through the deliberations of the consultative meeting. It has come out with a two point resolve stating that any kind of unification must be inclusive of all Nagas, and secondly that unification must be achieved in uniformity with the political aspiration of the Naga people and the ongoing political negotiations. The Naga Hoho also conveyed its understanding that for any meaningful unification to take place amongst the various Naga groups there should be clear-cut endorsement from the top leadership of all the Naga underground groups, stated a press note issued by Naga Hoho president Bendangmayang Jamir and general secretary Neingulo Krome.
Besides tribal Hohos, it was informed that the meeting was also attended by Naga People’s Movement for Human Rights, Naga Students’ Federation, Naga Mothers’ Association and the Naga Council of Dimapur, which deliberated at length, the prevailing situation with particular reference to the recent move for “unification” amongst the Naga underground groups in a spirit of “heart to heart talks”.
In this regard, the Naga Hoho expressed its deep appreciation to the Sumi Hoho for explaining some of the compelling reasons and circumstances under which the recent unification move was launched, so also, to the Chakhesang Public Organization, for their generosity to share their experience of a similar initiative several years ago in the Chakhesang Naga country, and the subsequent unanimity to say that, “unifications of any tribe should not minus any other Naga tribe”.
At the same time, the Naga Hoho also took the opportunity to express its profound, but unqualified, gratitude to all the federating units and participants for the confidence reposed on Naga Hoho, as the competent body to take up any unification move, while “fully aware of our many weaknesses and limitations”.
