Gen Kholi Konyak, who took over as president of the GPRN/NSCN on June 13, has called for a common vision and united effort of the Naga people to expedite a peaceful and lasting solution to the vexed Naga political issue. He was delivering his first presidential address at the inception ceremony held today at Camp Kehoi.
He later addressed the press and when asked about his primary objective as the new president said: “Let us all gather together in the kitchen and work together for a common goal”. Countless lives have been lost in the fight between Nagas and Nagas; we are now standing here because we want peace and unity, he added.
Kholi also stated that former president Khaplang was impeached for going against the ‘government’ and for not acknowledging the sentiments of the Naga people. However, he said he has no hard feelings against Khaplang, with whom he has been comrades for decades. “But since he was reluctant towards peace and reconciliation of the Nagas, against those who stood by it and also withdrew from the Covenant of Reconciliation (COR), we had to take action,” he maintained.
The GPRN/NSCN also informed that it is prepared to participate in the highest level meeting of the Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR) slated on June 20. “We want the FNR to speed up the reconciliation and we will prove our sincerity in the meet, Zhimomi informed.
