Imphal, February 27 2020:
The NSCN-IM has asserted that the political solution which would be worked out with the Government of India shall be a 'Naga solution' of the Nagas wherever they are.
An emergency joint council meeting comprising of the collective leadership, members of collective leadership, steering executive members, steering committee members, Kilonsers, Tatars, heads of departments and Naga Army officials of the NSCN-IM on Thursday adopted a resolution to this effect.
It also resolved to uphold the Framework Agreement signed with the Government of India on August 3, 2015, according to a press release issued by the outfit's MIP.
Maintaining that the Naga National flag and constitution represent the Naga National identity, the joint meeting asserted that recognition of the Naga National flag and constitution is absolutely a matter of Nagas' right for an honourable political solution.
The NSCN-IM also decided to uphold the mandate of the Naga people, given to NSCN on January 21, 2005, to conclude an honourable solution to the Indo-Naga political issue and the unification of all Naga areas.
The joint meeting then condemned the alleged double-standard policy of the Central Government and cautioned the Government of India from using its agencies including National Investigation Agency (NIA) to arrest and harass members of the NSCN who are in political negotiations with the Government of India for the past 22 years.
The political talks between the Government of India (GoI) and NSCN must move forward in the spirit of mutual respect, reads another resolution.
The meeting resolved that the outfit would continue to endeavor to conclude an honourable political solution that is acceptable to the Naga people.
