To vacate the encroachers from the promised land of Nagas is felt necessary to take up action immediately under the following terms and conditions in order to keep those areas of Suit land as vacant land till the boundary case is finalized from the Supreme Court of India between the Nagas and Assam.
1. The areas of the Naga forefather’s land measuring about 4974 or 5000 Sq miles is still under the force occupation of the Assam and the same case is filed in the Supreme Court by the Assam Govt. and the same case is kept pending in the Supreme Court of India for disposal. However eighty percent of the said promise land of Nagas were encroached by the Tea Estate Labours of Assam and those Foreigner labours who were allowed by the Government of Assam to illegally settle over the promised land of Nagas during the pendency’s of Boundary Case in the Supreme court of India.
2. That the boundaries of the conquered areas of land belong to Nagas between the Nagas and Assam was demarcated by the British-India Government since 19th Century and the same records has been clearly mentioned in many available books that those areas of land belongs to Nagas. 3. That according to the 9th Points Agreement as well as the 16th Points Agreement that the land of Nagas which areas earlier transferred to Assam shall be returned to Nagas by the Govt. of India (GOI). And for which Agreement Points, the over-ground Nagas have accepted the present Nagaland statehood in 1963. And while the Nagas are awaiting the Govt. of India for fulfillment of the assurance, now those areas of the promised land were tremendously encroached by the Govt. of Assam with the Bangladeshis, Adhivasis, Nepalis , etc, clearing the jungles over those areas of promised land of Nagas by establishing many unauthorized villages with the help of Assam Govt. And now more than 80% (Eighty Percent) of the promised land of Nagas are encroached. And not only that but those illegal settlers (Foreigners) are always threatening the Nagas with theirs Bows and Arrows and called National Highway Blockade regularly against the Nagas without knowing the actual back ground historical facts and for which the Nagas are always facing unwanted situations from the hand of those illegal settlers of Assam.
4. That it may not be out of place to mention here that during the pendency of the Case in the Supreme Court of India, if those areas of promised land of Nagas were totally captured and occupied by those non- Nagas then what profit will be there for the Nagas and how the Nagas can get it back her promised land if the civil war is not declared.
5. That the Assam Govt. must refrained themselves with their illegal settlers from such encroachment over the land of Nagas, otherwise the Nagas have no alternative option but to flush out those encroachers from the promised land of Nagas. Moreover the Govt. of Assam should not always try to occupy the promised land of Nagas. As because such unwanted action, will lead the Nagas to chase out the encroachers from their land.
6. That it is also important to be mentioned here that the Govt. of Nagaland must give full protection to the Villages which were set up and recognized by the Government of Nagaland followed by the criteria’s in the like of Rilan village, Dikoi village etc. for peaceful living of the villagers within their respective village jurisdiction instead of threatening them from their village demarcated Map either by any other group from any corner.
7. That the villages of Karbis (Mikirs) which were established earlier within the areas of the promised land of Nagas should not disturb by the Nagas if they are willing to live with the Nagas as friendly if not let the Karbis to decide their future and go back to their ancestral land at Jantia Hills. As because, the present areas of land where the Karbis are living is never belong to the Assam Government.
With the above mentioned facts and circumstances, the undersigned, Care Taker of Angami Tribal Land at West Point, Nagaland. Head Quarter I.V Razhuphe hereby inform to all the Intellectual Nagas to wake up and protect their promised land from the hands of illegal settlers of Assam by chasing them out from the said Suit land in order to keep the said areas as vacant land till the pending case is finalized from the Honourable Supreme Court of India. As because, the Nagas are not willing to give away even an inch of their forefathers land to any Non-Nagas unless the case is settled. And there shall be no give and take policy unless the Government of Assam withdrawn the said case from the Supreme Court of India. Why the Govt. of Assam always violating the Agreements made between the Nagas and Government of India? And how can the Nagas allowed the illegal settlers on free hand within their promised land during the pendency the said case?
