Peace derailing? NNPG threatens to’revert the pre-independent position’

By Nirendra DeNew Delhi, Aug 27 : The delay in finding a solution to the long-running Naga issue could disrupt the long-running Peace parleys.

"If an agreed-upon solution is to remain secret and unresolved, thus damaging and causing harm to the Naga peoples feelings and feelings, the afflicted Nagas have the right to return to their pre-independent India position and the status of the 1929 memorandum" the NNPG said in an announcement from its camp in Dimapur.

The mention of 1929 is significant since it was in that year that Naga had submitted a Naga group had presented a memo to the Simon Commission (as appointed by the colonial British rulers) in which the community stated that it would like to remain independent "The right to decide for yourself does not have to be an absolute right of powerful and powerful nations," said the umbrella organization of seven Naga militant groups operating in Nagaland.The NNPG has stepped up its position on the controversial issue In a statement, the NNPG media cell said "Anti-solution elements that hijack the Naga political solution to gain personal gain will be solely accountable for any possibility.

" In a way, it is essentially denying the process of political decision-making in the state, as political parties have become extremely active in recent times The NNPG declared "The right to determine ones own destiny is not a right exclusive of powerful and powerful nations." In addition, a firm warning to militants the statement read, "It is time for the Government of India to be open and forthcoming.

" "NNPG will remain loyal to the revolutionary leaders of the past and will respond to any anti-solution elements when it is deemed appropriate," it added.The Naga peace talks had started in 1997 under I.K.Gujaras term as the Prime Minister.Later, only the Prime Minister Narendra Modi decided to push it forward and agreed to a preliminary pact with the NSCN-IM in 2015 and later an "Agreed Position" with NNPG in 2017.

The statement also stated "The opponents should realize that the delay is not in the interests of the Govt of India nor of Nagas.The question for the the Prime Minister of India is: If the Government of India (GoI) was not determined to resolve the Naga issue, why was an the official invitation extended to Naga entities?" The NNPG also stated the Prime Minister Narendra Modi had the "courage and courage to appoint the trusted interlocutor R.N Ravi to engage with Naga groups.Naga groups.

This Prime Minister is in charge, he began the talks, he must conclude it." "Why start something if it is not conclusive? The Naga people as well as their past should not be held hostage for cheap political gains to a selfish leaders," the statement said.The umbrella organization NNPG and its founder N.Kitovi Zhimomi have been "strong supporters" of solution and hence the statement made must be viewed with "seriousness".Since 2017 the NNPG has been steadfast about an early and peaceful solution.

The statement was made following BJP general secretary Organisation, B.L.Santhosh launched the election preparation process in Nagaland.The regional party NDPP as well as BJP are in the powerhouse in the state, and the ruling dynasty also has the backing of an additional regional party called NPF.The BJP has also signed an arrangement of 20:40 seat shares with NDPP which is a deal which has been resented by a number of BJP leaders and workers.The NNPG statement blamed the state government, saying, "Today, the opposition-less government in Nagaland is causing many conflicts within the Naga tribes.

The Govt of India is being ignorant of the issues that are happening on the ground.The massive demand of people for quick solutions is not being taken into consideration".

It also stated that "The narrative is being cleverly manipulated to make an electoral narrative out of the political solution.GoI representatives and the inner circle of Nagalands elected representatives are displaying a tendency to say something one day and changing their minds on the next day causing havoc with the beliefs of Naga people.

" Naga populace" "The resolution of four points adopted by 60 MLAs 16th July 2022 sent an unambiguous signal to the GoI that the Naga tribes, the state government, the apex civil society and the common people were all ready for an alternative political solution.But, the resolution was not intended to officially be sent to the PMO (Prime Ministers Office) or the office of the Home Minister of India," it added "It was a simple exercise to deceive the Naga people.

On the 26th of July the NDPP and BJP have betrayed the Naga people with an alliance of 40-20 in the pre-poll according to the NNPG declared.(Nirendra Dev ) is a New Delhi-based journalist from New Delhi.
