President, NSCN/GPRN
On this auspicious Republic day, greetings to all in the name of our only Redeemer and saviour Jesus Christ. Revolutionary salute and homage to Martyrs and all that have borner the brunt of hardships in different ways and capacities.
The sacrifices of our forefathers has culminated in giving us the distinct identity whether it be individual or collective political identity that we have inherited as a Nation and people. The fierce resistance to the invasion of our lands and the salvation of our souls through the holy gospel has only been made possible through Divine intervention. God’s mercy and grace a bounds us despite being the least deserving. History is a testament to the indomitable spirit of the Nagas, despite the numerous hurdles that came our way and with God by our side, we shall defend our political rights with steadfast determination and strength.
Our political movement has been stoked by various conflicts. There is barely any family left untouch by the scorch of misfortune or deaths, due to the conflicts with Nations in our quest of defending our inherent and inalienable political rights. All deeds of saneness or madness have struck the cord of our ultimate destiny towards the fulfillment of our goal. A United Naga nation is the only way forward for us as we face this situation of seemingly being enmeshed in a messy cauldron of divisions and isms.
True peace has always eluded Nagas but here we stand at the threshold of a new beginning of atleast achieving peace in our lands which we have never really enjoyed since we as a Nation came to being. Therefore, with the sacrosanct covenant of ‘Nagaland for Christ’, may we firstly find favor in the sigh of God as a nation, until God deems it the right time for Nagas to attain our ultimate goal.
