A brief statement on NNC Formation of February 2, 1946

The Naga National Council (NNC) timely came into existence with its historic birth on 2nd February, 1946. The Naga National Council was democratically formed by the Naga representatives with Eno T. Aliba Imti Ao as the President. The formation of NNC was based on clear identity ground of God’s creation of the Naga  race, history, tradition and culture.
Thus with fair and far-sightedness of NNC leadership and together with the will, the leaders of the day formally brought the Naga families of all the Nagas together into one big family as a Nation. Henceforth, the NNC and Nagas as a whole are duty bound to uphold the uniqueness of the Nagas as a free people and sovereign nation as in ancient times.
The Nagas have our ancient territory known as Nagaland that comprises of all Naga Regions. And originally and historically Nagaland is the Homeland of the Nagas from olden time. And we have been in Nagaland as free Naga people and a sovereign nation. In other words, Nagaland is never part of foreign people’s country. Our forefathers clearly owned Nagaland. They were the master of it and we continuously own it till date. NNC precisely declared Nagaland independence on 14th August, 1947 a day ahead of India obtained its independence from their nation master, British Empire. And that NNC sent the historic declaration message of Nagaland independence to British India Government, India and United Nations. Briefly speaking, NNC is firmly grounded on the undisputable foundation of Naga historical right.
It comes to light that the devoted village elders, selfless volunteers of both young and old and national leaders of Nagaland worked all day long for public good and Nagaland’s future. The deeds and achievements of the past showed that the NNC leaders led by A.Z. Phizo made extensive touring in important Regions as well as other areas too, to let the people understand the right of the Nagas and sovereign Nagaland. With necessary preparation NNC solemnly conducted historic Naga voluntary plebiscite to steadfastly uphold Nagaland independence where 99% voted in honour of Nagaland stand. Truly, the former NNC leaders did well and boldly shouldered together national duties and responsibilities for a bright and happier Nagaland.
Eventually, The Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN) was set up in 1956 and constitutionally guided under the Yehzabo of Nagaland in the teeth of aggressive acts launched by aggressor India. By the grace of God there is a halt of war but the aggression is yet to come to an honourable end.
On this historic 65th Anniversary of NNC Formation Day, 2nd February, 2011, I call upon the sons and daughters of Nagaland to rise up and shoulder the responsibilities of the Naga Nation in defense of our birth right as bestowed by the Almighty God.
