Akato-led NSCN/GPRN reaffirms ceasefire stance with GOI

Dimapur, Jan. 23 (EMN): Akato-led NSCN/GPRN on Sunday reaffirmed its stance of November 19, 2021 declaring unilateral ceasefire with the Government of India.

A statement issued by MIP (NSCN/GPRN) stated that it would ‘always remain in good alliance and maintain peaceful accord with the public and Naga people.’

“It is also pertinent for everyone to keep in mind that the Naga Cause and the history of NSCN is embedded in pride, courage, honour, sacrifice and also of blood and tears. The legacy of our history and glorious events of which was upheld and passed down to us by our forefathers, and no matter what evil forces try to subdue will never succeed as in the past, now, or in the future.

“Leaders, soldiers and cadres of NSCN may come and go, but the formidable banner of NSCN and the Naga Cause will always fly high, and will remain a force to be reckoned with, till it reaches its logical quest and attain its purpose,” read the statement.

The group also expressed displeasure at the accusations of “some adversaries” who want to derail “our good gesture, armed with deterrent acts so as to interfere with the ceasefire mechanism and process aimed for diabolic intent and sinister designs.”

However, it stated that ‘NSCN would make sure that we leave behind our trail for our future posterity and children to carry on the legacy, just like it has been passed down to us by our predecessors and our forefathers’.

‘Fortitude and the Spirit of the Nagas can never be broken nor altered, at no point of time,’ it added.
