Working Committee of NNPGs while hitting out at NSCN (I-M) over various issues also demanded that the Nagaland chief minister “should not remain a prisoner in his own paradise” and reminded the chief minister that “history worships visionary political leaders only.”
In a statement, WC said that a practical, transparent, honorable Indo-Naga political solution as elucidated in the negotiated “Status Paper” through “Agreed Position” would ensure his political legacy.
WC said it was time for the chief minister “to brush aside the impractical narrative and stamp his authority on issue his grandfather and many others aspired for.”
It further reminded that “Short term business leaders are not remembered beyond a generation. It demands a true leader of grit to differentiate between idealism and realism. WC, NNPGs can only hope that the incumbent Nagaland CM will leave a positive footprint for future generation Nagas.”
Further, WC also slammed a recent statement made by Manipur Naga leaders after the regional authority meeting of the NSCN (I-M) not to allow Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN).
WC said such intrusive statements destroy people to people bonding. “The audacity of non-indigenous Nagas sheltering in Nagaland for few decades, uttering a word against RIIN implementation is not their business. It is against Naga tradition to comment on another family or clan’s decision on land and membership,” WC stated.
