DIMAPUR — The united Naga Council (UNC) has denounced the act of eight Naga legislators who, along with 32 other legislators of Manipur, submitted a representation to the Prime Minister of India with “some contradictory demands.”
The UNC in a press release stated that the representation was submitted on the day (August 9) the Naga people in Manipur organised mass rallies in all the Naga hill districts, thereby negating the collective sentiments of the Naga populace.
It stated that the rally was organised under the aegis of the UNC urging the Government of India’s to exercise its political will to resolve the long-drawn Indo-Naga political conflict in the true spirit of the Framework Agreement signed between the GoI and the NSCN (IM).
The UNC went on to state that whilst the Nagas are all out reiterating for an inclusive, acceptable and honourable solution to the Indo-Naga political issue, submitting representation with some “contradictory demands” to the prime minister of India is “highly uncalled.”
“The UNC as the apex body representing 20 Naga tribes of Manipur feels necessitated to place on record that the Naga legislators who have appended their signatures do not carry the collective aspirations and sentiments of the Nagas and hence disowned their representation,” the council stated.
