‘Unification, Yes, but not under coercion’
Dimapur, May 18 (TEN): Reconciliation and unity should be through mutual trust; lasting unity cannot be out of duress or coercion, said Chakhesang Public Organization and Chakhroma Public Organization. The two frontals today came out with separate statements expressing similar view that unification is urgent, but should be attained through peaceful means. Denouncement was also expressed against the “policy of total annihilation” no matter how big or small a group may be. Rather, to sit in dialogue is the first step towards achieving unification, it was reminded.
The Chakhesang Public Organization today issued a statement iterating its political stance, warranted by what the frontal pointed out is the confusion in the minds of the Naga public, particularly of the Chakhesang community. “Definitely, CPO always stands for reconciliation and unity of the Nagas through mutual trust. Yet, CPO does not believe that lasting unity of the Nagas can come out of duress or coercion” the CPO statement made clear. The CPO also reminded the people of the futility in keeping themselves divided, waging fratricide and “trying to finish off each other by the policy of total annihilation.”
But, the CPO put up a strong reminder to all in concern: … “no matter how weak or small one group may be, it cannot be finished by the stronger faction out of annihilation policy and therefore CPO vehemently disowns the philosophy of violence. Nothing more harmful and damaging than what are we doing to ourselves today.”
Expressing a similar view, the Chakhroma Public Organization also issued a statement making its stand that unification should be pursued through peaceful means. “While unification is urgently required, it should be achieved through peaceful means encompassing the principles of inclusiveness and peaceful co-existence with mutual respect of one another’s traditional territories and boundaries” the Chakhroma apex stated in a statement appended by its executives. Taking strong exception at the senseless killings and firing incidents, the CPO held view that through violence, Nagas cannot get rid of the maladies that have come to disease the Naga political movement.
In related matters, the Chakhroma apex also expressed profound grief and sense of loss over the killing of 15 lives on May 16. The CPO said such bloodbath could be avoided should the Nagas “especially the NSCN-IM and the NSCN-U” have mutual respect for each other.
The CPO conveys deep condolences to the bereaved families and hoped that such incidents shall not happen again. The CPO joins other Naga organizations in appealing to the various factions to cease fighting of all forms. Rather, they are appealed to, to sit down for dialogue and seek peace and reconciliation which the CPO reminded, is the first step towards unification.
