NSCN/GPRN for highest level meeting to finalize ‘modalities’ morungexpress

Dimapur, July 31 (MExN): The National Socialist Council of Nagalim has reaffirmed its commitment to reconciliation of the Naga political groups and in this regard once again re-iterated its firm commitments to the Naga reconciliation based on, “the historical and political rights of the Nagas” and also do uphold its continued support to the FNR whose good office was formed out of the deep and long desire of the Naga people for reconciliation and unity. “We stand by the earlier collective decision to facilitate the highest authorities to finalize the detail modalities and the process after minute deliberation”, stated a press statement issued by Gen. Retd. V.S. Atem, Convenor Steering Committee.
Stating that in the month of June 2009, the three top leaders representing each political group, Chairman Isak Chishi Swu, Chairman S.S. Khaplang and Kedahge Brig. (Retd.) S. Singya had signed an agreement that, “covenant of reconciliation shall be based on the historical and political rights of the Nagas”, the press note further recalled that all the groups agreed on 22nd September 2009 Chiangmai meeting, “to facilitate the meeting of a summit at the highest level (the three top signatories) at the earliest”.
“But, much to the shock of all concerned, the so-called Monyakshu Conclave of 15th July 2010 is back-stabbing FNR and total negation of the spirit of Naga reconciliation as agreed upon in the successive Chiangmai meetings and also other initiatives back home”, the press note from the Steering Committee stated while adding that the NSCN/GPRN does not accept such “irresponsible acts of sabotage”.
The Steering Committee Convenor pointed out that with an objective to end fighting among the warring Naga political groups and to carry forward the rest of the journey in one accord, Amnesty was declared by Isak Chishi Swu, the Yaruiwo of Nagalim on 21st November 1997. Similarly, for the same reason, Amnesty was declared to the entire nation, irrespective of one’s past and present standing, by the Yaruiwo of Nagalim on 14th December 2004.
Likewise after undergoing 3 days of national fasting at the Council Headquarters, Hebron, on 13th January 2007, the Yaruiwo of Nagalim, Isak Chishi Swu, declared “Unity through Reconciliation” to reach out to other political groups, the press note recalled.
The statement from the Steering Committee also pointed out that the NSCN/GPRN had also given its commitment for full support when the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) was formed on 7th May 2008 by Divine Revelation through the Shisha Hoho Prayer Center and with full blessing of the Naga people. “The NSCN too gave its commitment for fullest support to it”, it reminded.
