DIMAPUR, MAY 4 (MExN): The GPRN/NSCN today stated that while it has not signed any merger agreement with the Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF), “the alliance between the two is to protect and safeguard common Naga political, historical rights and identity and it shall remain so.”
A press release from the MIP of the GPRN/NSCN informed that the alliance between GPRN/NSCN and ZUF was signed in New Delhi on October 28, 2019. It stated that the negotiations between GoI and NNPGs had traversed much depths and heights on all crucial matters and on the table was a workable, acceptable and honorable solution for all Nagas.
“ZUF too had closely followed the Indo-Naga talks and the political situation and environment favoured an alliance with GPRN/NSCN. As per the understanding, ZUF Chairman would be a part of Naga delegation on political negotiations to air the problems of Zeliangrong people living in Nagaland, Assam and Manipur,” it informed.
Till date, the GPRN/NSCN said that the ZUF representatives “enjoy the confidence and hospitality of WC, NNPG Convener and Co-Conveners. A very strong bond is maintained because Zeliangrong family is an integral part of Naga vision.”
While recognizing that the situation of 2019 is different from 2023, the GPRN/NSCN however maintained that “the vision and goal of both GPRN/NSCN and ZUF is to secure Naga people's history, political Identity and aspiration.”
