The Naga apex bodies and the Church, under the banner of Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) on Monday urged the NNPGs and NSCN/GPRN (NSCN I-M) to come to a meeting without delay and honour their commitments of “Joint Accordant” of September 14, 2023, the “Kolkata meeting” of October 18, 2022, and the “Nagas are Moving Ahead” of January 14, 2023.
In a statement, FNR said that the organizations met and resolved to walk the statement that “Nagas Are Moving Ahead” declared on January 23, 2023. FNR said that the organizations emphasised the above points with urgency and expected the NNPGs and NSCN/GPRN to listen to the call of the Naga people.
Notwithstanding the regional aspirations for growth and flourishing, the meeting stressed that Nagas from every side must cooperate with each other without compulsion. The meeting insisted that cooperation must emerge voluntarily by respecting every cultural (tribal) group and political organisation.
Noting that the changes were a fact, and that politics and political forms were also changing, the organisations said if the people were to come together as a nation, they all need to acknowledge each other and cooperate.
In case, due to personal reason(s), one was unable to cooperate, they insisted that one must respect their position.
They declared that the Nagas should not allow room for undermining nor overbearing anyone, adding that they should seek peace with all and for all in everything.
Further, the meeting also decided to organise events in order call upon the Central government to accelerate the Naga political agreement before the general elections. It also called upon Naga people and citizens of the land to render support to the forms of transformative changes being dreamt of in accordance to global relevance. This was stated in an FNR statement.
