In his speech, GPRN\/NSCN ato kilonser Kitovi Zhimomi queried who was responsible for the divisions and disunity amongst the Nagas by various tribal organizations.<\/div>\n
Kitovi maintained that each Naga should introspect and retrospect the elements that led to the division and disunity amongst Nagas.<\/div>\n
Kitovi said that \u201cNagaland State creation was just political game and politics of the Indian Union\u201d.<\/div>\n
Dwelling on the Naga women reservation issue, Kitovi stated that the Naga women were much advanced in all fields. \u201cNaga womenfolk are excelling more than the male counterpart and it is the male who are desperately in need of such reservations\u201d, said Kitovi on a lighter note.<\/div>\n
Lambasting the Uniform Civil Code (UCC) and AADHAR card policies of the government of India,<\/div>\n
Kitovi asserted that such policy (s) should be scrutinized through proper channels\/terms and should not be politicized upon keeping in mind of the unique Naga customs and traditions.<\/div>\n
Accusing the contemporary Naga politicians, elected for five-year tenure, of doing nothing for the common Naga goal, he said they were rather prolonging and hampering the Naga issue for another five centuries.<\/div>\n
