DIMAPUR, OCTOBER 26 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) has acknowledged the role of the Naga civil society organizations for rising up to the occasion when Nagas were confronted with ‘tryst with destiny’ and for standing up to defend Naga political aspiration.
An MIP release maintained that “when the Government of India's interlocutor RN Ravi went too far enough to underestimate the Nagas in taking care of our legitimate historical and political rights, Naga civil society groups stood up boldly to prove him wrong and to show him to mind his language of divisive tone.”
It thanked the Naga civil society for taming RN Ravi to be moderate and not resort to unethical psychological pressure using threat and demonstrating your passion and pride of the Naga’s unique history and situation.
“We Nagas have had enough of divisive politics and you all have reminded Ravi to stay clear of playing divisive based solution. This is the testing time for the Nagas to present ourselves as one in our political aspiration notwithstanding petty politics of lapses. Forgiving each other under the spirit of reconciliation should come into play at this turning point of history,” it stated.
The NSCN (IM) also appreciated the Naga civil society organizations for pointing out that honorable and acceptable solution means honoring Naga flag and constitution. “You have pointed out that Nagas have not gone for so many years of political struggle at the cost of hundreds of thousands lives for getting the economic packages being tabled before the Naga political groups. We cannot betray our fore fathers and patriots who have shown us the way,” it stated.
