Kohima, May 25: Amidst escalating political tensions within the Naga community and growing disillusionment with bilateral discussions with the Government of India, the NSCN(K) conveyed a resolute message on Friday. The group emphasized that any political dialogue with India must prioritize Naga sovereignty above all else, surpassing even the Indian Constitution.
In a statement issued by Maj. Gen. (Rtd) Ang Mai, Chairman, Nyeiton Konyak, Vice-Chairman, and Kughalu Mulatonu, General Secretary, the NSCN(K) reaffirmed its role as the guardian of Naga sovereignty. The group underscored its unwavering commitment to principles such as self-sufficiency, socialism, and Nagaland for Christ.
Highlighting the enduring significance of the Khaplang Plan of 1997 for Peace and Unity, the NSCN(K) stressed the principle of “forgive and forget” within the framework of Nagaland for Christ. The group also reiterated its intention to engage in peace processes with both India and Myanmar.
Additionally, the NSCN(K) emphasized its active role, alongside the Council of Naga Churches (CNC), in promoting the propagation of Nagaland for Christ throughout Naga-inhabited areas. Furthermore, the group affirmed its commitment to maintaining historically positive relations with neighboring communities, recognizing it as a moral responsibility.
