Nagas remonstrate in Delhi over delay in peace talks; submits memo to PM
Nagaland Post | February 25, 2012
Under the aegis of Naga Peace Facilitation Committee Delhi (NPFCD), a remonstration was held Friday afternoon at Jantar Mantar in the backdrop of the protracted “political dialogue” between government of India and NSCN (I-M) going on since August 1, 1997. In a joint statement, Boveio Poukai Duo, Moba Langphong and Akumdong Jamir convenors of the NPFCD said the main demand of the rally was to impress upon Centre to “accelerate the bilateral political dialogue to bring about a viable solution within a specific time-frame based on the uniqueness of the Naga history”.
Scores of students and Naga community in Delhi joined the protest holding placards some of which read “Withdraw the imposition of conditions on the collective Leadership”, “Stop criminalising Naga national movement”, “Stop blaming the Meities and Assamese on Indo-Naga issue” etc.
NPFCD also submitted a two page memorandum to Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh in reiteration of the demands of the Nagas in Delhi for fruitful solution at the earliest. The following were the three issues raised:
That, Government of India takes necessary steps to speed up the bilateral dialogue to bring about a meaningful political solution based on the uniqueness of the Naga history. This uniqueness is the only foundational basis on which a solution should be sought. That, putting unnecessary restrictions and conditions on the movements of the Naga leaders violates the three primary principles on which Indo-Naga political dialogue has started, and that, GOI adheres to the abovementioned principles in letter and spirit. And,
That, a meaningful and honourable political solution is sought for an early fructification of the peace process to end one of the longest conflicts in the world.
