Dimapur, July 2 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) has asked the Sumi Hoho to reassess its role as a moderator before mediating between any conflicting parties asserting that when the components are lacking and mediators ‘dishonorably desist from justifying their role, all implied resolve becomes imposed or dictated.’
According to a MIP, GPRN statement “The Sumi Hoho’s initiative to peace is appreciative and good but the approach on how it is being carried out should also be taken into account.” “Before mediating in between any conflicting parties, the cause of the difference should be analyzed, the role of the mediator should be assessed, the terms of the peace initiative should be underlined and structured and the proposal for the meeting organized in a respectable and dignified manner upholding the integrity of the Sumi Hoho” it stated.
The GPRN urged that the apex body of the Sumis should stick in line with the people’s desired goal and that the people’s collective principle “is the national principle and so should Sumi Hoho function in the line with the national principle.” It asked the Sumi Hoho to clearly identify those who are working for the nation and who are anti-nationals “according to their deeds, traits, professions and achievements, and be able to classify and ascertain each one separately.” Further, the GPRN asserted that all matters relating to the Naga political issue should be based on Naga national principles and not guided by emotions or confined on inclined focus. “For every political issue, undertakings abide by certain procedures commanding respect, trust and goodwill for anchoring on firm grounds of peace. It is when the components are lacking and mediators dishonorably desist from justifying their role, all implied resolve becomes imposed or dictated” the GPRN stated.
The GPRN also asked the Sumi Hoho President and his team to assess themselves in where, according to the statement, they have lacked behind and in what they have failed.
“Has the powers and functions of the Sumi Hoho been executed in tandem with the Naga people’s national principles? Has the powers and functions of the Sumi Hoho been executed in upholding its integrity and honor?” the GPRN queried adding that It is time for the Nagas to examine themselves and identify their roles in the national struggle. “If we do not know our position and status, we will become tools of our enemy. Mr. Rotokha and his team should keep in mind that today there is neither space for mistakes nor can the Sumi people or the Naga people be given to ransom. The nation is above all other issues and hence the national principles of the Nagas cannot be compromised with” it asserted.
