DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 28 (MExN): The Eastern Naga National Workers Forum (ENNWF) of the NSCN (IM) today called upon the Naga people to “overcome all the artificial boundaries imposed on us,” and extended support to the NSCN (IM) Collective Leadership’s stand on the Naga flag and constitution.
A press release from the ENNWF accused the NNPGs of trying to “seal off the solution for Nagas of Nagaland alone,” and called for a rejection of such a deal.
It further stated that an “imposed solution with some economic packages that the WC of NNPGs is vying for is a pure mockery and betrayal to the Naga living history and their easy agreement with the Government of India within two years of the so called peace talks only for Nagas of Nagaland is nothing more than an insult to the souls of thousands of Naga martyrs.”
The Eastern Nagas, the forum reminded, “sheltered the movement in their soil bearing untold sufferings from different corners with the trust that all the Nagas from all across the Naga inhabited areas would fight together in unity.”
“The contributions in terms of material and immaterial the Eastern Nagas made for the struggle are still a living witness in the history of Naga people and their struggle, and they are not meant for just a section of Nagas within the Naga family,” it added.
It stressed on the need for the Naga people to be unified and live as a dignified nation amongst others.
“Let us not forget that human drawn boundary lines do not actually divide people but it is disunity and misconceived pride that divides us in reality,” the ENNWF said.
The present generation, it stated, “have to uphold the path laid down by our ancestors and elders under the guidance of our living God toward a free nation.” It further urged people to be “watchful that the divisions imposed on us in the past do not remain permanent among us because of our blunders.”
