The People’s Army of Nagaland is resolutely committed to defend and preserve the inalienable historical and political rights of the Nagas that had been affirmed by memorandum to Simon Commission in 1929.
We are also duty bound to uphold the reaffirmation of the Nagas inherent and indestructible entity as people and Nation by the very act of 1951 Plebiscite held under the auspices of AZ.Phizo.
Judging from the history of many colonised people and their struggle of liberation, the Nagas were and are too bound to undergo several political pitfalls and blunders. However, despite political calamities at several stages of our struggle, the movement had not been abandoned or forsaken.
This implies that the Nagas aspiration is natural and unassailable, cannot be forced to be vanquished no matter how overwhelming the odds be.
If the present dilemmas and confusions over various interpretation of political alternatives are to be considered, the People’s Army and NSCN under SS Khaplang’s leadership would like to inform the Nagas of our political conviction and conscience.
If any alternative political arrangements are to be explored as in consideration and relevance to the demands of the times and circumstances, realism and practicality of the issue etc, the NSCN though may not be a party to any such arrangement or give resistance but would only remain aloof and unperturbed.
The only contention would be that, the NSCN would not tolerate any form of political arrangement, agreement or settlement that propagates political betrayal and denouncement of the Naga’s basic political rights and ideologies.
The inability to transcend present differences or present realistic political compulsions as being enforced, enticed and offered cannot be an excuse to repudiate the entire historical and political legacy of our people.
It is our fervent plea that, “let those nationalists favoring honorable exit, be agreed to retire them unconditionally and without aspersions, that they be acknowledged for the sacrifices and services rendered but ask them to not barter away the Nagas identity and rights for their own comfort and convenience so that they be not hunted or haunted as traitors”.
