Imphal, May 04:
Expressing serious concern over the adverse development taking place in the Naga society, the Naga Forum, Delhi has stated that the incidents happening in Nagaland particularly the issuing of quit notice to a particular family of the Naga family is painful.
In a statement, Forum president and member of Lok Sabha Mani Charenamei said it is unfortunate that some of the recent events in the Naga society have explicitly manifested the symptoms of self destruction.
Such incidents within the Naga family have projected the Nagas in a very poor light.
It would be too much a price to pay for the Nagas to barter their hard earned struggle into tribalism, regionalism and personnel gratification.
Wouldn't it be inhuman for any cultured and civilised community to issue Quit notice to own family members, whatever, valid reason it might be ?, he asked adding that there is little evidence to show that issues have been resolved through resorting to such means as it is happening.
The MP said in no way differences of opinion are anathemas to any sort of struggle, however, discourse and dialogue has remained the most viable approach to resolve any issue irrespective of how sensitive and difficult the problem may appear to be.
With the hope to save the future generation and to secure Naga society denigrating further, a clarion call is needed to free the Naga society from personnel; ego, pride, corruption and selfishness, the MP said while observing that at the right earnest, before one starts thinking to reform the society, there is a serious and urgent need to reform from within.
The Naga Forum, Delhi also appealed to the leadership of NSCN (K) to withdraw the quite notice against the Tangkhul community 'who are out own brothers not by choice but by blood.
