Mokokchung, July 20 (MTNews): The Naga Hoho has on July 19 written to the Prime Minister of India stating that the Naga people have become very restive with the way Peace Talk has been conducted and put forward four points for his consideration in order to bring about a permanent and early solution.
“We pray that, under your dynamic leadership, India will grow and progress, resolving all the protracted issues including the Naga Political Issue,” read the Naga Hoho memorandum to the Prime Minister appended by its president HK Zhimomi and general secretary K Elu Ndang.
Reflecting on past agreements like the 9 Points Agreement in 1947, 16 Points Agreement of 1960 and Shillong Accord of 1975, which failed to bring about lasting peace, Naga Hoho mentioned that employing the same method to resolve the Naga issue will only breed more suspicion than understanding between the two parties.
Suggesting its four points to the Prime Minister, the memorandum also said that the desire of Naga Hoho is to bring durable peace between India and the Nagas in the spirit of peaceful co-existence as agreed in the Framework Agreement. “Let us remind each other that Naga people will be truthful and committed towards making Nagaland a strong regional ally of India,” it added.
