It is to appreciate the state government for inviting Naga CSOs and tribal organisation leaders for consultation on the Naga political issue from time to time.
The present peaceful atmosphere in Nagaland is in our full advantage to have a collective conglomerate decision where every section of the peoples’ mind can be included in for a fruitful and realistic resolution. In this I am of the opinion that the state government should give enough time to the CSOs and the tribal organisations to have a thorough deliberation with their people and present the factual scenario in such a high platform for discussion of the Naga political issue. In fact our national workers representatives should also be invited in such a discourse so that a collective and consensus decision is involved in resolving the issues pragmatically. This high platform conveyed by the state government is so imperative that the entire citizen mind is to be taken into confident for a fruitful discussion and resolution which will be an asset for the government to carry forward as a facilitator. Without consulting the people any leader will not be able to represent the people. The Naga political objectives is for Naga sovereignty which is known to all the Nagas young and old and everyone has his/her opinion to say in determining the future of the Nagas. It will be painful for the future generations if any wrong decision is taken today succumbing to the pressure of the adversary and surrendering the right of the Nagas.
Nagas aspirations is not to live under the domain of any foreign control but rather to live as a free and separate people. It is a concern that the contemporary reality of the present situation created by the Indian government with their policy of divide and rule within the Naga society to which the Indian government has taken full advantage of subjugating the Naga rights.
There is chaos and confusion in the Naga society because of the adversary design. Had the Nagas concentrate on our aspirations the motives of our enemy can be thwart but our greed for power and money has blind us and made us inclined to our enemy design.
Today we are the servants of our enemy. A call from the state government for consultation of the Naga political issue is a step forward to create unanimity for the right of the Nagas. It is enormously important to guard the discussion that do not led us astray into the pond of our enemy.
