Says still in incubation stage, does not warrant speculation
DIMAPUR, JUNE 16 (MExN): The NSCN (IM) today stated that the Pan Naga Hoho (PNH) “does not undermine any democratic political institution as perceived by others.”
“Such widely diffused view is unfounded,” a press release from the MIP of the NSCN (IM) stated and expressed concern that “of late, media is floated with cross section of people and groups fussing about the power of Chairman of Pan Naga Hoho (PNH).”
“The irony is that Pan Naga Hoho is a topic that does not warrant wild speculation. Because, it is still in incubation stage and one need not go for panic reaction. Such subject of critical importance that concerns the Nagas is something that wouldn’t be processed in damning hurry,” the NSCN (IM) assured.
It said that when the Pan Naga Hoho, “as conceived by GOI and mutually discussed and accepted by NSCN, taking into consideration the necessity to have such umbrella set up for the larger unity and welfares of the Nagas living in different regions, passed through the critical stage of political scrutiny, it would naturally come out in the open.”
The irony of the situation is apparent to everyone, the NSCN (IM) said, recognizing that “things are moving too slow.”
However, it said that the Pan Naga Hoho, when concretized, will take into account the social, cultural, literature, identity and interests of the Nagas. “Till then, the less fuss made about it the better,” it advised.
