Dimapur, June 8 (EMN): Convenor of Working Committee of the Naga National Political Groups (WC-NNPG), N Kitovi Zhimomi, maintained that truth and reality must transcend artificial borders in order to dispel misgivings, apprehensions and doubts among the Nagas.
Kitovi stated this during a meeting with the officials of United Naga Council (UNC) from Manipur held in Dimapur on June 7. While explaining his desire to meet UNC members, Kitovi said it was an appropriate time to meet Naga brothers, be it from Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Nagaland or Manipur because limiting oneself to just one group or one leader will not be in the interest of Nagas today.
Stating that truth and reality must transcend artificial borders in order to dispel misgivings, apprehensions and doubts, Kitovi stated that UNC, representing the entire Nagas in Manipur, has every right to know the factual position between GoI and WC-NNPG.
A WC-NNPG statement issued by its media cell stated that the discussion focused on the ever increasing socio-economic and demographic pressure upon Naga tribes and the ancestral land in Manipur, which is threatening the peaceful co-existence in the neighbourhood.
It stated that the WC-NNPG and UNC meeting took a free, frank, factual and critical view of the current Naga social and political position. It added that the leaders cleared the perceived societal and regional mistrust of one upon the other which must end.
It further stated that relevant political and historical matters were brought to light and healthy views were exchanged along with documents. The meeting concluded with a strong emphasis on peace in the land and peaceful co-existence with all Naga neighbours.
