Imphal, August 03 2023:
The NSCN (IM) has appealed to the Naga people to stand firmly behind Framework Agreement and continue to have faith that something honourable will be worked out soon from the Indo-Naga peace process.
In a statement, the NSCN (IM) said that the world has come to know much better about the 'Naga political issue' because of the Framework Agreement and how they have stood the ground to uphold it.
"It was after more than 50 years of fighting that the Government of India accepted the historical truth that Nagalim was never an integral part of India either by conquest or consent," the outfit claimed.
Saying that the driving force behind the Framework Agreement was recognition of the 'uniqueness of Naga history', the NSCN (IM) said that they still remember what Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while signing the agreement "We praise the Naga people and the people of India for exercising unprecedented patience in supporting the Indo-Naga peace process.
With all faith and confidence, we believe that an honourable peaceful political solution will be worked out before long" .
