Senapati, June 22 2015 :
United Naga Council (UNC) has appealed 'any section' of Nagas pursuing regional aspiration not to hamper the on-going "Indo-Naga political dialogue." In a press note, the UNC said that it understands the regional aspiration pursued within the Naga fold.
"And the aspirations are attributed to nearly seven decades old Naga struggle without solution.
So, Government of India is responsible for the prevailing problem arising out of the aspiration," said the council.
"As the Nagas are engaging for the 'final political settlement' that can also address various regional problems, the UNC appealed to any section of the Nagas pursuing regional aspiration not to hamper the on-going Indo-Naga political dialogue (which is in advance stage) in the larger interest of the Nagas, said UNC.
The council said the appeal is made to organization or section with the belief that whole is better and stronger than a part.
"It is our conviction that the part shall remain protected within the whole if the position of the whole is secure in generations to come", remarked UNC.
UNC has also further appealed all to nurture collective spirit in the larger interest of all Nagas based on the uniqueness of Naga history.
The council also appealed Zeliangrong United Front (ZUF) to kindly review their decision to impose 72-hour bandh in Zeliangrong areas with effect from midnight of June 24 .
