Dimapur, July 17 (MExN): The Naga Hoho reaffirmed a standing resolution that the reconciliation process and the ‘peace process or negotiation’ must go hand in hand together. The 3rd federal assembly of the Naga Hoho was held in Mokokchung, at the Tourist Lodge and hosted by the Ao Senden on Friday. The assembly was attended by the various federating tribal hoho representatives and a number of “resolutions” taken of which the aforesaid statement was one.
“The house reaffirmed the standing resolution of the Naga Hoho that Reconciliation process and the peace process or negotiation must go hand in hand together,” the hoho stated in its resolution. “To strengthen this reaffirmation the following resolution was thus phrased: ‘Henceforth, every tribe must abide by the Naga Hoho Federal Assembly resolution and should not deviate from the expressed stand of the Naga Hoho.’”
The hoho assembly also approved the declaration of the Consultative Meeting of May 8, 2010 and May 22, 2010 reaffirmations by the presidential council.
A point of discussion was the endorsement of the United Naga Council’s declaring ‘severance of political ties with Manipur state government and to opt for an alternative arrangement.’
“The house later resolved to support, help and aid the UNC and other Nagas outside the state of Nagaland in their effort to secure alternative arrangement for their survival and sustenance and for the protection of their land and identity, pending the settlement of the Indo-Naga issue,” the hoho stated.
The hoho then endorsed the Joint declaration of the Naga Hoho, ENPO, Nagaland state government and the Opposition party of the Nagaland Assembly for protection and preservation of Intangki Forest. The same “position” would hold in respect of all what the hoho’s resolutions called other “national” properties.
