The Viswema Youth Organisation (VYO) would like to make some observation in connection with the Article written by one Rev. L. Suohie Mhasi with the title –“Land dispute over Kezoltsa and Dzükou” which was published in the local dailies on 28th May 2015.
The author knows the fact that Britishers had drawn an arbitrary imaginary boundary line between two states (Nagaland and Manipur) without the knowledge and sans consultation with the Southern Angamis, whereby, Southern Angami people never accepted this artificial boundary.
Then, how can the author say “the either side claims that the landscape belongs to their ancestors” when the Mao Council had stated in clear terms that “SAPO were encroaching on Manipur land”? therefore, the author should wear thick glasses to read and understand so that facts and issues are not misinterpreted according to his understanding which will mislead the public.
It may be the best or perfect way to settle any matter in the way of Christ as the author expressed, but the author should first know the trustworthiness of Mao people who shift their stand and stories according to their advantage. If the Mao people are Christians let the truth prevail over falsehood in Christ way so that they (Mao) will not fabricate their false stories, as a result, there will be no issue between Southern Angami and Mao people. As a Christian, it is not proper to poke one’s nose on others issue and put fuel to the fire.
The author also seems to know the issue of Kezoltsa and Dzükou thoroughly where he had termed the issue as a “dispute”, it is pertinent to mention that when the Southern Angamis are the undisputed owner of Kezoltsa and Dzükou how can the author courageously called it as a dispute?
Further, the author had put the cart before the horse by demarcating the boundary between the Southern Angami and Mao people by sitting at home; you may do this type of exercise when the responsibility comes to you, so kindly wait patiently for your turn.
As an elderly respected person, it would be good if you do not damage your high reputation which you had earned throughout your lifetime at your twilight.
The Viswema Youth Organisation firmly stands behind SAPO and SAYO on the issue of Kezoltsa and Dzükou.
