Dimapur, December 1 (MExN): The Zeliangrong and Tangkhul regions of the Government of the People’s Republic of Nagalim, NSCN (IM) have in separate statements affirmed support to the Collective Leadership in the wake of the recent developments including the recent unity drive initiated under the aegis of the Western Sumi Hoho. The office of the Zeliangrong Region in a press note gave the opinion that “at this very juncture any unity move is important, but the more important is the Indo-Naga political solution”. It stated that ‘unity’ is a social solution where as the later is the national political solution of the entire Nagas.
Terming the recent ‘reunification move’ as controversial issue, the Zeliangrong Region made its stand firm on the statement and the clarification issued by the Yaruiwo, Isak Chishi Swu dated, 25th November 2007 and appealed to the Naga people not to get confused by “unprincipled unity move with ulterior motive by some imposter” but to rather stand firm on the national principle and defend the ongoing peace process for smooth sailing.
The Wung Tangkhul Regional Council meanwhile held its emergency meeting on December 1 over what it termed as “the prevailing controversial unity move by a section of people”. In a statement issued by Ngaranmi Jagoi, CAO of Wung Tangkhul Region, it was informed that the meeting had resolved to fully support the collective leadership of the NSCN (IM) and that it stood on the statements of the Yaruiwo of the People's Republic Of Nagalim, Isak Chishi Swu, dated 25th November 2007.
The Council further acknowledged that no Naga community, either big or small exist on the mercies of others and that all have contributed for the common cause of the Naga Nation in their own way and therefore no community or section of our people should be discriminated. “Any attempt that undermines this principle is the abiding agenda of the adversaries aimed at dividing the Naga family”, it stated and therefore appealed to the people to give concerted effort in bringing unity among the Nagas.
