Dimapur, May 30 (MExN): The NSCN- K (Niki Group) on Monday asserted that unity, not just among the Naga political groups but also among the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) is key to the attainment of Naga people’s aspirations.
In a press release issued through its MIP, the group stated that the various opinions about Naga political solution in recent times, “seems to raise more confusion than clarity.” While it is a welcome sign that there is interest in the Naga political solution, it viewed that “talking in different tongues breed only pandemonium and apprehension amongst us.” It will be prudent on the part of the facilitators and stakeholders to avoid mixed and contradictory statements, it added.
The release also sought clarity on whether “the high officials of Government of India (GoI) such as Prime Minister Narendra Modi or Home Minister Amit Shah officially and publicly laid out Naga solution or are we only putting our twist of narratives as per our own perspectives or speculations?”
Among others, it also asked which accord or agreement—the Framework Agreement or the Agreed Position—is to be implemented; or if the GoI is “going to give separately NSCN (IM), the Framework Agreement and NNPGs, the Agreed Position.” “If so NSCN/GPRN being the third entity also be given a separate solution? By this logic, Civil Society Organizations such as UNC, CNTC, NTC, TPO, ENPO, etc. should also have their separate solutions?” it added.
According to the release, the Government of India and Nagas have had a tumultuous relationship over the decades of past accords and agreements which could not solve the Indo-Naga political issue. “Therefore in the light of GoI publicly stating that they are for one inclusive political solution, NSCN/GPRN believes that only when all the CSOs unite under one single umbrella such as Naga Hoho, Naga Students’ Federation, Naga Mothers’ Association, GB Federation etc., can lead to unity among Naga Political Groups under one Naga voice culminating in the People’s aspiration of peace and lasting political solution,” it maintained. “Unity is the key to the attainment of Naga people’s aspirations.”
