Earlier in the day, former Chief Minister of Nagaland and present Goa Governor SC Jamir addressing the silver jubilee as the Chief Guest, urged people to come out of their helplessness created by doubt and fear and to speak out the truth. Pointing out that this was the right time to deliberate on the future of the Nagas, Jamir said the need of the hour was to create an atmosphere where one was not afraid to speak the truth. “Scarcity of truth is the biggest disease that prevails in our society today and without truth, we will be dwarfed. Today we are afraid not of God but humans; we are a coward tribe, and the church can do nothing”, Jamir said.
Minister for School Education Imkong L Imchen who was the Guest of Honour maintained that the Aos should come forward when it comes to uplifting peace in the State. “We should be the heralder of peace and this should be one of the points of the silver jubilee resolution”, Imchen said. Other who spoke included Agriculture Production Commissioner Alemtemshi and Prof. Dr Lanunungsang, Dean Nagaland University, Lumami.
