Nokhu Range Public Organization (NRPO) and Nokhu Range Students’ Union (NRSU) have reaffirmed to stand by ENPO’s February 23, 2024 Chenmoho Resolution and March 30, 2024 Khiamniungan Tribal Council (KTC) public resolution. This was resolved at a joint coordination meeting between NRPO and NRSU held on April 4 at Noklak Hq.
In a joint statement, NRPO and NRSU said that the resolutions underscored the unified stance of the Eastern Naga community on critical issues concerning the Frontier Nagaland Territory (FNT). The house also unanimously resolved to uphold and reaffirm the resolutions, emphasizing the significant provisions aimed at addressing the demands and concerns of the Eastern Naga people.
As part of this reaffirmation, NRPO and NRSU stated that they were committed to abstaining from taking part in any forms of electoral processes, whether Central or State Elections.
“This decision reflects the disappointment stemming from perceived unmet promises by the Ministry of Home Affairs, Government of India and underscores the resolve of the Eastern Nagaland People to pursue the legitimate aspirations through peaceful and democratic means,” they said,
Further, NRPO president Thiamo and NRSU president Pongchiu appealed to all segments of Naga society, urging unity in supporting the demands put forth by the Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation (ENPO) rather than engaging in mutual blame.
Emphasizing the enduring bond of brotherhood among Eastern Nagas and other Naga communities, NRPO and NRSU asserted that this unity would persist for generations, regardless of the Government of India’s decision regarding FNT.
They also emphasized the importance of solidarity and collaboration among all Naga groups in advocating for their collective interests and aspirations. This highlights the need for a united front in addressing the challenges and concerns faced by the Naga people, they added.
Meanwhile, the two organizations expressed gratitude to ENPO leaders for their sincere and accountable leadership in championing the demand for FNT. They also appreciated their dedication and integrity in advocating for the rightful aspirations of the people of Eastern Nagaland.
