Y Wangtin Naga
President, NSCN (R)
Dearest ladies and gentlemen, Naga revolutionary comrades, on this auspicious day of Naga Republic Day, I personally thank God for His protection and guidance throughout Naga political journey. I also salute our great leaders and Naga Armies who laid their lives for the nation.
The fight was too hard for the Naga people yet, they fought bravely in all situations for decades and saved the Naga nation from the deadly jaws of mighty India and Burma (Myanmar).
The first ceasefire between India and Nagas in early 60s broke causing heavy battles between the two, followed by several failed accords. Thus, the second ceasefire was necessitated in 1997 and 2001 bringing political balance and recognition of each other’s position. This understanding of each other’s political situation, the political dialogue took its shape. The present peace process between GoI-NSCN (IM) and GoI-NNPG WC moved positively edging to the final agreement.
The ray of hope is dawning and it is expected that, during Narendra Modi’s government and the centre, the long standing Naga issue will be resolved. I therefore appeal to all the Nagas to come together by burying all minor differences for the common good.
Kuknalim
Long Live Naga Republic Day
