The Naga National Council (Non-Accordist) observes the 63rd anniversary of Naga Plebiscite day of 16th may 1951, which has been observed every year since our Naga National Plebiscite began once again, I heartily salute to all the Naga patriotism, National leaders who bravely bear up the great plebiscite that took place harmoniously and solemnly be plebiscited or thumbed at Lakhuti village on 16-5-1951, which signified as one Naga, one nation in which the result comes on 99.9% and on this plebiscite day, the Nagas took a consensus resolution that the Nagas shall continue to protect our freedom and liberty which were our birth right, in order that no any outsiders, be it, east or west, north or south, be allowed to suppress our forefather’s culture value and disturb our way of life in any manner.
In the year 1929, on the 10th of January a British team known as Simon Commission, led by Sir John Simon, came to Naga area to study the possibility of reforms in India. At that time the Naga club had presented a memorandum wherein the Naga Hills should not be included in the reformation scheme of the government of India. As a result of this demand by the Naga club the British parliament decided to treat the Naga Hills as excluded area. By this agreement the Naga ills was excluded from the reformation on India, above that in the memorandum to the Simon statutory commission it asserted that we (Nagas) shall not live under any other nation. After which the British government therefore, declared Naga country as Naga Hills excluded area was on 1st April 1937.
The great Naga leaders have tried their best to solve the Naga issues in peaceful ways without any sort of violence, therefore the Naga leaders met with great Indian leaders like mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru and many other leaders but utterly naught. Yet the talk processes were on, soon after the departure of the British Government, the Indian Government sent its army and occupied our land and began torturing both men and women, then tortured to death extent, and their execution became so hashed to an appalling rates, besides that, houses and granaries were burnt to ashes and the same atrocities continues till today in our land.
Once again, I would like to express my deepest concern about the Naga leaders, soldiers who sacrificed at the cost of their precious lives willingly for the cause of Nags birth right without giving up their commitment made basing on the Naga plebiscite which bound the Nags united either in death or in alive. We shall therefore always remember their great deed in the days to come and will also be recorded in the Naga patriotic history
records.
Lastly, I would like to call upon all Naga nationalists, leaders, who love the Nation, come together and stand join handedly and take a good look at our near future with positive attitude or else the empty future looms ahead of us if not checked. My dear, Nagas therefore, now is the high time for us to realize and stand firmly and together nib the wrong buds that may readily be awaiting to destroy our common future. Now it is a good time for all Nagas to understand and re-establish our stand once again so that our next generation may live in peace.
