Reiterating its call for unity among Nagas, the Naga Hoho (NH) on Wednesday urged all the tribe leaders from the Nagas of Nagaland to join the Naga Hoho and seek the Naga political problem based on the \u201ccontemporary political reality\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a press release, NH president Sulanthung Lotha stressed that Naga Hoho, over the years, had been \u201cworking persistently\u201d for unity and reconciliation in line with \u201call compatible organisations\u201d to facilitate the peace process for an early \u201cIndo-Naga\u201d political settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said that successive leadership had contributed in strengthening the peace process. However, Lotha said solution has been delayed due to various reasons best known to negotiating parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said NH had frequently appealed for unity and reconciliation so as to strengthen the negotiation for an acceptable solution. NH president, however, said Naga people were \u201cunfortunately\u201d busy in framing diverse opinion with state-centric and regional interest. \u201cWe have no reason to blame others but ourselves,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NH president asserted Naga people must own responsibility for destroying the fabric of \u201cIndo-Naga\u201d political talks. He said Naga people, in the interest of the adversaries, have defeated themselves and become enemies of their own selves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
NH president admitted that tribes from Nagaland state have dissociated from Naga Hoho. \u201cYet then nobody can claim that there is no legality or existence of Naga Hoho because there is a representative from Nagaland state,\u201d Lotha added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Further, he said NH had been functioning with majority units and representatives from Manipur, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh. However, he maintained that there was still support from people of Nagaland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He pointed out that every organisation has different objectives and directive principles. \u201cFor instance, Nagaland Tribes Council (NTC) which claims to be the apex body of Nagaland state is the same as CNTC having only three tribes, (Ao Senden, Lotha Hoho and Sumi Hoho) affiliated to NTC,\u201d Lotha said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said NH had never questioned the legitimacy of NTC and their activities at any point in time. Lotha, however, expressed dismay that own Naga brethren \u201claugh at each other with the sign of fulfilment\u201d when the Indian agencies and media \u201ccastigate our own political groups and civil organisations.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lotha said NH would never indulge in petty issues and politicking against any Naga organisation, adding it expected others to reciprocate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He recalled that formation of NH at Zunheboto session on March 11 & 12, 1998 was with an objective to uphold solidarity, rebuilt Naga family, facilitate settlement of Naga issue, protect Naga system and tradition and to promote social, culture, economic and political heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He asserted said NH played an immense role in resolving conflict situations amongst different factions of Nagas. Lotha further said that NH played an important role to expedient peace process between Government of India and the NSCN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Naga Hoho believed that all settlements should be inclusive and all the different Naga underground factions by playing the role of facilitator and adopted various measures to achieve the goal despite the fact that Naga Hoho was not a party of the peace talk,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said NH worked hard to ensure all Nagas safety irrespective of their tribes, council or region brought into one Naga unity. \u201cWe believe the strength of the Naga Hoho is derived from the strength of the tribes Hoho,\u201d Lotha added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Therefore, he said the Naga Hoho tribes should play a meaningful role in strengthening the Naga Hoho particularly in their effort towards reconciliation without boundary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this regard, NH president urged all the tribe leaders from the Nagas of Nagaland to join the Naga Hoho and seek the Naga political problem based on the \u201ccontemporary political reality\u201d and also work selflessly towards bringing about peace and unity among the Nagas irrespective of the Naga inhabited areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Stating that there was a season for everything and a time for every purpose, the hoho said it was time for all the Nagas to unite and put their heads together to work for the common goal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
