GUWAHATI, Aug 8
The Naga Hoho has reiterated its support for the United Naga Council’s proposed mass rally in all Naga areas of Manipur on August 9 to address the longstanding Naga political issue based on the historic Framework Agreement signed between the Government of India and the NSCN (GPRN) on August 3, 2015.
The Naga Hoho in a statement said, “This is an important moment for the Nagas to reaffirm their historical and legitimate rights, and collectively strive to achieve the aspirations of our people.”
It said that for decades, the Nagas have endured immense challenges in their pursuit of political justice and recognition of their identity.
Adding that the Framework Agreement represents a ray of hope and a crucial step towards resolving the longstanding conflict, Naga Hoho said that it is essential for the Government of India to fulfil its promise and refrain from further delay or denial in the Indo-Naga process.
“We firmly believe that resolving the Naga conflict is not only crucial for the Nagas but also for the entire North East region,” said Naga Hoho. Naga Hoho also requested all communities and neighboring States not to hinder or interfere with the political process that the Nagas have rightfully claimed.
It also urged the Central Government to honor its commitment to the Framework Agreement and engage in honest and productive dialogues with the Nagas to find a comprehensive and inclusive solution and said that denying or prolonging the Indo-Naga Peace Process will only perpetuate the suffering and uncertainty in the region.
