From the formation of the Naga National Council (NNC) by the Naga people on 2nd February, 1946, the NNC steadfastly stands for Naga Sovereignty as a nation as the Naga people have given national mandate to NNC through Voluntary Plebiscite on 16th May, 1951. And it is practically a known fact that non-violence has been the resolute policy of the NNC and not violence. Violence never bears a good fruit. Violence is the sweetest thing for Satan and for the wicked men. The one who had no right to proceed further often used violence to hijack the right of others. The NNC always condemns any individual or group who creates violence in Nagaland or anywhere. For violence is the arch enemy of all religions and modern world. Thus NNC always maintains peace and tranquility with other nations, communities and groups and works to settle all problems through peaceful means.
Besides some of our people deadly opposed against NNC and they followed the paths of violence. As a result thousands of lives, immeasurable wealth and precious times have been lost in the past 3 (three) decades. But I believe that many of our people have now realised and come out with positive attitude. And it is the right time to follow the non-violence policy of NNC the parent body of our nation. So that we shall unitedly march forward to build up a prosperous nation of Nagaland for Christ.
It is also necessary to remember that the Naga people have adopted a famous Resolution on 12th April, 1955 at Touphema Village, Angami Region and this singular resolution of our people was ratified by NNC on 27th April, 1955 in its Session at Lakhuti Village, Lotha Region. The Resolution reads: “Any person or persons who in order to destroy or undermined the integrity and the well being of Nagaland and who for this purpose act, abet or set up organisation against or oppose the political administrative and traditional institution of the nation, or attempt to do so, whether into or without the aid of another country or countries shall be deemed to have committed Treason.”
Therefore NNC always abides by the pledge and stand of our people and NNC knows that India, the aggressor will definitely go back home one day sooner or later and that day will be the final victory of ours. The precious lives, blood and tears of the true patriots will thus never go in vain. The time and posterity shall certainly witness it.
The NNC and FGN are two entities in accordance with the power distribution of the Yehzabo (Constitution) of Nagaland and not only one entity like that of the fake NNC and fake FGN.
The Article 8 said: The National Government shall be called “The Federal Government of Nagaland”. Article 137 said: The Federal Government of Nagaland shall maintain a standing “NATIONAL ARMY”. Article 144 said: The Naga National Council (NNC) shall work on the following principles:
a) There shall be a Central Executive Council, which will guide and control the political policy and decision for the nation.
b) There shall be a Regional and Sub-Regional Council which will deal with organisational activities and problems in the regions.
Constitutionally the NNC has no Kilonser, Tatar, Midan Peyu, Leacy, Razou Peyu, Naga Army etc. As the governmental power is vested to the Federal Government of Nagaland (FGN). NNC is a political institution and the guardian of the FGN and not a government. NNC can never impose taxes on Naga people or otherwise except free will donation and NNC Membership Fee from the Naga population as every Naga who is born of the Naga blood is an NNC member. Therefore our people must not pay the taxes unnecessarily/cowardly to all self styled organisations which were created/formed by themselves without the knowledge of the Naga people.
