FA key to honourable Naga solution: Tuccu<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

NSCN (I-M) said the Framework Agreement (FA), which called for establishing a new relationship for peaceful co-existence of the two entities on the basis of shared sovereignty, was the key to an honourable and acceptable Naga solution.
In his message on the occasion of 43rd NSCN Raising Day, NSCN (I-M) chairman Q Tuccu explained that the political significance of FA lay in the fact that Government of India and NSCN had agreed to establish a new relationship for peaceful co-existence on the basis of shared sovereignty, which was the key to an honourable and acceptable solution for a durable peace.
He asserted that NSCN (I-M) was totally against economic packages or imposed political packages as these did not give Nagas a lasting solution, while reiterating the organisation\u2019s stand that Nagas would abide by the principles of FA. He said that there was no other way and that NSCN (I-M) would stand firm with the agreement.
Further, making it very loud and clear that Naga\u2019s political destiny was in the hands of NSCN (I-M), Tuccu said they could not allow themselves to be caught napping. He called for continuing to work tirelessly and to never forget praising God as He had been given space to lead Nagalim.
He reminded everyone that the Naga political movement was never a smooth sailing, while recalling how Naga freedom fighters had in one occasion in history undergone a gruelling test of physical and mental fortitude. He said the Naga nation was tested like never before because it was a question of saving the history and political identity of the Nagas.
Calling for thanking God as He gave the Naga leaders political wisdom and courage to organise the Naga political struggle under the banner of NSCN, Tuccu remarked that God had never failed the Nagas. He urged everyone to always praise Him for what He was to the Naga political movement under NSCN. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
