DIMAPUR, JULY 1 (MExN): NSCN-K (Khango group) has raised objection on the move of the Government of India to implement Uniform Civil Code (UCC) which it said would be “disastrous and detrimental to the very survival of the Naga people.”
A MIP release stated that the Naga people consist of multiple cultural groups that practice varied customary laws and traditions, speak different languages that serve as identity markers.
Even in terms of religion, while most communities practice Christianity, there are also practitioners of indigenous religions. So also, the customary laws are unique to each Naga community and cannot be homogenized under one law.
It stated that UCC and everything that it entails is a direct infringement on the right of each and every Naga community, not only to self-determination but also to practice these traditions and customs that are crucial to our identity as a People.
Towards this, the NSCN-K (Khango) vowed that it would “repress any divisive force or laws by disposing all available resources at hand.”
