The Overseas Naga Association shares in the Naga people’s loss at the passing of S. S. Khaplang, Chairman of NSCN (K). Khaplang was a luminary among the generation of Naga patriots who devoted their entire lives to the Naga people’sstruggle for freedom from colonial domination and outside interference. He was therefighting against impossible odds at every turn,from the height of the struggleto the day he died on June 9, at age 77. An unflinching lifelong dedication, like Khaplang’s, to the cause of human rights and dignity deserves universal admiration. And he richly deserves the Naga people’s gratitude for making all the Nagas in Myanmar part of the Naga struggle to become a nation - his unique contribution. The Overseas Naga Association joins our people in honoring Chairman Khaplang’s life and legacy.
May he rest in peace.
