Dimapur, July 12 (MExN): ‘Ato kilonser’ Th Muivah on his reconciliation mission reached Peren district today, July 12. He was so impressed at the manner of arrangement that look "dignified in more than one way".
Muivah while addressing the gathering said that Peren will be the last stop under the ongoing reconciliation mission but it has turned out to be the best in every respect.
“It is inspiring to witness such beautiful reception and a huge turnout of the public,” he said.
Touching on the topic he said that we cannot remain like this. We have to understand each other. If the Nagas failed this time we would be a lost people without hope. We must step forward to correct ourselves, leaving aside individual’s interest, he added.
He also said that God knows what is best for the Nagas but if the Nagas do not realize this, there lies the problem and danger. God gave eternal salvation to the Nagas and has solved our problem but if we are not serious of this, there will be problem, the MIP informed.
He enlightened the Zeliangrong people that God gave the “Nagas its land, history and right. And not the Indian or Chinese or the people who gave the Nagas the land and history”.
Showing his respect to what Jadonang was for the Zeliangrong people, he said that Jadonang knew that the British people are not the master of the Nagas, but master of themselves. He goes on to explain that Nagas were not created to be under the British or India’s control. And the way Jadonang thought was correct "though he may not know God".
Recollecting those days, he said that once upon a time Nagas were not a united force. There was constant fighting among the villages. Today we have the spirit and the feeling to fight for our right. And this is our strength. He said that Nagas’ future will be in danger if this is not realized.
He further added that Jadonang and Phizo are gone but if we know our rights we can be the strongest nation. And there will be no tomorrow or today for the Nagas.
He reminded that it was the right decision taken by the NNC at the right time that saved the Naga nation. He thanked God for giving such wisdom to the NNC leaders. If Nagas do the will of God, He will always be there for us, he said.
The MIP also stated that Muivah explained the unfortunate story of Shillong Accord and how NSCN came into being to save the Naga nation.
Moreover, the biggest achievement of Indo-Naga peace process came in the form of India giving recognition to unique history and situation of the Nagas in the year 2002, July 11 at Amsterdam. He further that the people must know how the peace process started and where it is heading.
On reconciliation he said it should be brought about accepting that it is the will of God for the Nagas to forgive each other, and for political solution it should be based on Naga’s historical facts recognized by India. He added that the interest of Phizo or NNC or Khaplang or Isak-Muivah should matters in this crucial decision.
Moreover, it may be noted that every Zeliangrong village starting from Medziphema to Peren town were waiting on the road with the welcome banner. School children in uniform with flags in their hands lined up the roads as the entourage crossed one village after another.
