DIMAPUR, FEBRUARY 2 (MExN): In a counter rejoinder, the Working Committee, Naga National Political Groups (WC, NNPG) on Friday said the founders of Naga Hoho had great vision for the Naga people but the present team “has dragged it to further irrelevance.”
Alleging that the present Naga Hoho has lost its legitimacy since it became an extension of a particular faction, the WC, NNPGs said it lost all credibility due to which ENPO walked out followed suit by NTC and CNTC. While NH, in its early years was like an “imposing beast which roared and defended all creatures in the land,” the WC, NNPGs however said it is now “long dead and only the carcass remains.” The story of NH began from tribes of Nagaland and when all seventeen withdrew from it, Naga Hoho serves no purpose save few members for their livelihood, it added.
The WC, NNPGs recalled that the Framework Agreement was signed by GoI interlocutor RN Ravi with NSCN (IM) leaders. Two years later the same GoI interlocutor signed Agreed Position with WC, NNPGs on November 17, 2017. However, “When two political documents were signed with Naga entities by the very same interlocutor, NH worshiping the first and questioning the legitimacy of the second is a grim reminder of how the NH has sold its soul,” it stated. The WC, NNPGs also questioned the NH “why and how the Agreed Position is not a legitimate political document.” The contents of any signed political document and its implementation speaks for a nation, not a number of news reporters running around at the event, it stated.
