DIMAPUR — A consultative meeting of the NSCN (IM) parliamentarians on Thursday upheld the political concept of the Naga political movement under the banner of NSCN (IM) with ‘Nagalim for Christ’ as the slogan.
The consultative meeting held at Hotel Saramati, Dimapur, included the NSCN (IM)’s steering committee executives and members, kilonsers, deputy kilonsers and tatars of Ao, Lotha and Naga Rengma Hills (CAA), the NSCN (IM) stated in a press release.
The NSCN (IM) asserted that it was this slogan (Nagalim for Christ) that motivated the NSCN members to maintain unity and cooperation throughout.
“The spirit of self-sacrifice of the Nagas and the undaunting fighting spirit of NSCN find meaning from this slogan. It was under this ‘never give up spirit’ that NSCN asserted its stand boldly during the Indo-Naga political talks beginning from 1997, and ultimately comes to fruition when the historic Framework Agreement was signed on 3rd August, 2015,” it stated.
During the meeting, the members “proudly exhibited their commitment to stand by the hard-earned achievement that will define the indelible sovereign identity of the Naga people and Naga Nation,” it stated.
The consultative meeting also took note of the ongoing ethnic conflict between the Meiteis and Kuki-Zo in Manipur, and to “remain extra vigilant to protect our land and political identity,” it added.
