Continuing with their role as “facilitator” and “bridge” in quest of Naga reconciliation and unity, members of the Political Affairs Committee (PAC) of DAN finally met with leaders of the ‘GPRN/NSCN’ Saturday morning here at ADC Guest House, located just above the ceasefire supervisory board (CFSB) office.
Later, emerging out of the three-hour long meeting, PAC chairman Dr. TM Lotha told mediapersons that the meeting was held in a cordial atmosphere and both sides reached a consensus opinion – that all sufferings of Nagas should come to an end and solution to the protracted Naga problem brought about.
Lotha also said both sides agreed to continue to work together for ultimate solution of the Naga issue.
‘GPRN/NSCN’ ato kilonser Kitovi Zhimomi was more guarded in his comment and put the ball of reconciliation and unity in the PAC’S court. “If PAC can convince Isak and Muivah, then the outcome will be positive,” he said.
While not ruling out a ray of hope in the mission of PAC, Kitovi however said reconciliation and unity efforts should be genuine and that the PAC should be bold enough to speak the truth.
Meantime, he said the ‘GPRN/NSCN’ would be keeping their fingers crossed. Asked whether he foresaw an end to factional killings, the ato kilonser said as long as things were done deliberately by the rival faction, factional killings would go on.
On reports of a likely meeting between the two NSCN leaders SS Khaplang and Isak Chishi Swu, Kitovi said it was only “wishful thinking.” PAC secretary Z Lohe said the meeting was one of the “most fruitful” meetings the PAC had so far with different groups as members expressed their view points and opinions without reservations.
Meanwhile, PAC chairman expressed gratitude to the ‘GPRN/NSCN’ for “understanding” the concern of the PAC members.
