DIMAPUR, NOVEMBER 29 (MExN): Extending full support to the earlier statement of its Yaruiwo, Isak Chishi Swu, the NSCN (IM) Chakhesang Region terms the initiative of the ‘Western Sumi Hoho and some NSCN leaders from Sumi community for unity and reconciliation at the expense of Naga nation’ as “very unfortunate and unwise”. The press release issued by the Kilonser and “Care-taker” of Chakhesang region, Kedutsu Tsuzuh stated that the decision was taken during a meeting of the Chakhesang region “national workers” on November 27. It added that there is ‘an obstinate feeling in their (Sumi leaders’) mind over the village establishment and eviction drive in the Intanki Forest and therefore aiming to take full rein over the Nagaland state in the name of unity and reconciliation”.
The meeting is said to have endorsed full support to the Collective Leadership and said that it firmly stands for an honourable solution spearheaded by the Collective Leadership and continued that there cannot be unification and reconciliation if other Nagas such as the Nagas of Manipur or Tangkhuls are left behind or excluded “because reconciliation and unity should be broad-based”, it stated.
