Rio endorses resolutions on Naga reconciliation
Morung Express | Dimapur | March 5 2012
Coming first as a man “proud” to be a Naga, Chief Minister Neiphiu Rio today expressed happiness at the resolutions adopted at the February 29 ‘Naga Reconciliation Meeting’ called by Forum for Naga Reconciliation (FNR). “If we (Nagas) don’t show such unity, we do not have a future. As long as you cling to your individualism, ‘villagism’ and tribalism, we’ll not survive,” the chief minister said at the inauguration programme of newly-created Chumukedima RD Block.
“Me and my government are very happy at the resolutions adopted by the people through the FNR platform,” Rio said and added that Nagas should be clear with their “political vision.” Among other resolutions, Naga public at the “Reconciliation meeting” resolved that the “historical and political rights” of the Naga should form the basis of any political solution and that any negotiation process must focus on how Nagas can determine, safeguard and exercise their historical and political rights in a contemporary and inter-related world.
Asserting that Nagas are a “proud” race as proved by six-decades of fighting to assert their own identity, Rio said that after much struggle and sufferings, the world including India have come to recognize Naga people and their “unique” history.
