Divisions within Nagas are a major block: Peace activist Niketu Iralu
Times of India | TNN | May 12, 2012, 10.13PM IST
Peace activist Niketu Iralu said though the Nagas have strong aspirations for integration of Nagas-inhabited areas in northeast, the Naga groups remain divided amongst themselves. Iralu, a member of Nagaland Baptist Church Council's peace committee said the weakening of the negotiating strength among them was primarily due to divisions among the Nagas.
He said that though it is natural that Nagas in different states are aspiring to live as "one-family", the divisions within the community has become a major stumbling block. He held that the Naga organizations committed a mistake by not discussing the issue of integration with the people residing in different states first.
"Instead of conducting people-to-people dialogue with the respective states, the Naga organizations depended on the Centre to come and help them on the issue of integrating Naga-inhabited areas. Today the integration issue is all messed up because the Naga organizations did not take the respective states into confidence," Iralu said.
