Naga National Council (Parent Body) led by Yilow Humtsoe (president), Helimong Yimkhiung (vice-president designate) and V. Nagi (general secretary) has affirmed “full support” to the Naga Hoho’s stand that “Sovereignty and Self-determination” were the “heart and soul” of the Naga people.
The group through its information & publicity wing also welcomed the stand of the Naga Hoho that it stood for the entire Naga inhabited lands as Naga people were one not by “circumstances” but by blood. “This is the very essence of the Naga people as a whole and political freedom of the Nagas as our birthright,” NNC (PB) stated.
The group maintained that the present leadership of the Naga Hoho was “crystal clear about Naga sovereignty and the homeland.” NNC (PB) said it, therefore, strongly support “this unflinching stand and resolutions” of the Naga Hoho. Further, the group also acknowledged the “genuine concern” of the Naga Hoho for the unity of all the Naga political groups (NPGs) and civil society organizations (CSOs).
In this regard, NNC (PB) has appealed to the Naga Hoho “as the right and main body” to convene an urgent meeting of all the NPGs and CSOs. The group said that such meeting would enable NGPs and CSOs to thoroughly deliberate and discuss the differences and thrash out all the issues.
It said the meeting would also be able to work out the common political strategy to resolve and settle the long political problem of the Naga people as a whole.
