“Right this moment, the Nagas are within the strategy of getting into right into a ultimate settlement with the Authorities of India, which will likely be a decisive battle for the Nagas. If we win, our nationwide future is saved. But when we lose, every little thing of us will fall. We’re on the lookout for an amicable and honourable resolution with out betraying our precept. We’re totally conscious of the truth that any type of settlement that betrays the precept isn’t any resolution. That is our repeated reminder to the Naga individuals and the federal government of India as nicely,” he stated.

The federal government and the NSCN-IM are caught in a stand-off over the latter’s demand for a separate flag and structure.

If the foundation of a tree is lower off, the tree, the branches, the leaves, the flowers, and the fruits die naturally, the NSCN-IM chief stated.

“Can we anticipate something good if our nationwide precept is murdered? If our precept is murdered every little thing of us—our sovereign proper, our historical past, our politics, our tradition, our identification, our territory, our faith, and our future— will fall, and nothing will stand to maintain our nationwide identification alive. Our nationwide precept is the inspiration and centre of our resistance motion, the premise of political negotiation and options. Our relationships with others may even be based on this strong floor,” Elevating stated

The Naga persons are undoubtedly for an answer, an answer that may shield and safeguard their nationwide future, he maintained.

“Due to this fact, they condemned the previous agreements that have been made on the expense of the nationwide precept. The way forward for a individuals is made by their choices. All of the nation-states right this moment are the merchandise of selections made by the respective peoples and nations. Within the march for his or her ultimate vacation spot, the Nagas have confronted quite a lot of essential moments the place they took nationwide choices and thereby saved their future,” Elevating stated.

On November 11, 1975, one other settlement known as the Shillong Accord was made to signal throughout the parameters of the Indian structure, he stated.

“At that essential level of time, a nationwide meeting was convened by Messrs. Isak Chishi Swu and Th. Muivah, the then NNC Vice President and Common Secretary on August 16, 1976. The nationwide meeting condemned the Shillong Accord as a sell-out and reaffirmed the nationwide precept. Had it not been condemned by the nationwide meeting and saved the nation, the historical past and the way forward for the Nagas would have been murdered by that very accord of treason. The way forward for the Nagas is threatened once in a while by the aggressors. Historical past speaks of how a colonial energy used the native individuals to struggle towards the native individuals. Within the case of the Nagas, all of us have witnessed how the aggressors used the Nagas to struggle towards the Nagas. What a diabolical coverage it was and it’s nonetheless being seen right this moment with extra divisive venom,” he stated.

Nevertheless, the federal government of India and NSCN had signed the historic Framework Settlement’ on August 3, 2015, the content material of which is self-explanatory, stated Elevating.

“NSCN leaders have categorically said repeatedly that they are going to uphold the Framework Settlement in letter and spirit. However the representatives of the federal government of India have began giving fallacious interpretations so as to confuse the frequent individuals. We too really feel apprehensive in regards to the clandestine plot of imposing one other accord on the Nagas or hijacking the problem by their surrogates. The Nagas are once more positioned at a vital juncture the place they should decide to save lots of their nationwide future or perish. That is going to be the turning level of historical past. And now could be the time to determine our future,” he stated.
