Amid the prolonged delay in resolving the Indo-Naga political issue and the emergence of multiple factions, Ato Kilonser of GPRN/NSCN (Unification), Alezo Venuh, has stated that a roadmap for a solution already exists, with both the Working Committee of Naga National Political Groups (WC NNPGs) and the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN-IM) having submitted their respective drafts to the Government of India.
Speaking to the media on the sidelines of the WC NNPG installation ceremony in Dimapur, Venuh stated that the next move must come from the Government of India as “they are the givers”.
“The ball is in the court of the Government of India,” he said, adding that the Centre must present its own version of the draft before the way forward can be determined.
Venuh stated that while both WC NNPGs and NSCN-IM have their respective roadmaps, the WC NNPGs have yet to review the contents of the NSCN-IM’s charter of demands.
However, he noted that the WC NNPGs’ roadmap has been agreed upon in principle and is documented in black and white.
Urging the Government of India to expedite the process, he reminded that negotiations had officially concluded on October 31, 2019.
“Democracy does not always offer a 100% consensus, but the voices of the majority should be acknowledged,” he said.
Expressing frustration over the prolonged delay, Venuh said that civil society organizations, NGOs, and intellectuals are growing impatient. “The message is loud and clear—enough is enough,” he asserted.
