The Covenant of Reconciliation was signed in the month of June 2009 by top leaders of three Naga Political groups. On September 18th 2010, the Naga political groups, in the name of God and witnessed by the Forum for Naga Reconciliation, declared to the Naga people and the entire world resolving to, among others, desist from pursuing territorial expansion so that a conducive atmosphere is sustained for strengthening the Naga Reconciliation Process.
GPRN/NSCN headed by Chairman S S Khaplang and General Secretary N Kitovi Zhimomi, FGN Headed by Brig. (Retd) Shingnya and Kedallo Zopra Vero have steadfastedly abided by the agreed resolutions. The FNR, on the strength of spontaneous response from Naga people, is also making all out effort to facilitate the meeting of top leadership in the near future. It is deeply regretted that the IM leadership has, in blatant violation of the Covenant of Reconciliation and the resolution of the 18th September 2010 resolution, has ordered military operation in eastern side of Nagaland and deep into interior Naga homeland. The forceful intrusion and bloodshed is not in the interest of the Nagas. Such deception is uncalled for and will naturally be confronted. It is understood that a group of armed IM men on operation are not there to preach the Gospel. Serious questions emerge on the policy and intent IM for the potential volatile situation in eastern Nagaland. While the Naga people eagerly await the summit of top leadership of different political groups, is it not a negative policy on the part of IM to send in their men to intercept and prevent Chairman S S Khaplang and Brig.(Retd) Singnya from attending the proposed summit?
The aggressive nature of IM in eastern Nagaland is extremely unfortunate as it is a serious breach of the Covenant. Where do Naga Reconciliation stands if such stumbling blocks are created deliberately? Any fallout would solely be blamed on those who propose further bloodshed to gain territorial foothold in eastern Nagaland.
