DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 21 (MExN): The Eastern Nagaland Peoples’ Organisation (ENPO) has appealed to all negotiating parties for a “unified, acceptable, peaceful and lasting solution to the Naga political issue.”
A press release from the ENPO media cell stated that the Naga people expect “enduring peace in the entire Naga areas.” “However, it would not be possible until all Naga Political Groups come together and hammer out the differences if any, and place common agenda before the Government of India for an amicable solution,” it said.
While appealing for peaceful solution, the ENPO made clear that “it is not a party to endorsing public mandate favouring any particular political group.” It appealed “equally to all negotiating groups to bring about a unified, lasting and peaceful solution, and not otherwise.”
Meanwhile, the ENPO and its six federating tribe bodies condemned the firing incident that took place near Chenloisho village, Mon district on October 20 and at ITC Pangsha on October 21. It appealed to all concerned groups to honour and respect the ENPO December 18, 2007 public resolution to refrain from killings, threats, intimidation etc within Eastern Nagaland jurisdiction.
