Imphal, September 20 2015:
United Naga Council (UNC) on Sunday expressed heartfelt gratitude to the Naga tribal public for responding positively to the call of the council during the recent mass Naga public rallies.
Under the banner of UNC, rallies were held at Ukhrul, Chandel, Tahamzam (Senapati) and Tamenglong headquarters from September 9 to 17 to welcome the "Indo-Naga Historic Peace Accord" signed on August 3 last in New Delhi.
The UNC also said the rallies were held to condemn the "most controversial anti-Naga tribal Bills" and resolutions passed by the Manipur Legislative Assembly on August 31 and consequent upon killing of 9 civilians including a minor and injuring hundreds of civilians on August 31 and September 1, 2015 while defending inalienable rights of the tribal people and its political aspiration in Churachandpur district.
The UNC then appreciated tribe presidents, district apex organisations, Naga frontal organisations, regional frontal organisations, Church leaders, politicians, social workers, village headmen and chairmen and the general public for huge turnout in the rallies.
"Signing of the Indo-Naga Historic Peace Accord on August 3, 2015 based on unique history of the Nagas and its situation was a hard earned political achievement for bringing about a lasting peace in the region," the UNC said.
The UNC then appealed to all the Naga tribal people to stand unitedly and to remain alert with preparedness to defend "our inalienable political rights from repressive, oppressive and suppressive measures of State forces or adversaries" .
It furthermore appeals to all the Naga public to extend all out support and co-operation to the council's call in near future.
