Kohima, January 23:
A joint consultative meeting of the Naga Hoho, Naga Students Federation (NSF), Naga Mothers Association (NMA) and Naga Peoples' Movement for Human Rights (NPMHR) held at Kohima today appreciated the recent proclamation of NSCN (I-M) Yaruiwo Isak Chishi Swu and the subsequent announcement of NSCN (K) Ato Kilonser, N Kitovi Zhimomi.
While NSCN-IM's Isak Chisi Swu had called for "reconciliation, forgiveness and compassion to ring all over Nagalim", NSCN-K's Kitovi called for collective wisdom stating "we must renew our aspects in all walks of life to integrate the restricted boundary to the zenith of rationale living".
A statement issued jointly by Naga Hoho president I Bengdang Jamir, NMA president Khesheli Chishi, NSF president Phushika Aomi and NPMHR executive member Dr N Venuh which was made available to Newmai News Network said that the consultative meeting was convened to deliberate and take stock of the prevailing situation and to further consolidate various roles and responsibilities.
The signatories said taking cue from the political necessities as indicated by the "national leaders", the House call upon all Nagas to re-invigorate their common understanding of political aspiration, based on the foundation of the "unquestionable" political history, and also to create an atmosphere of hope, trust and understanding for a common future.
The House also called for burying the "painful past of mistrust and misgivings" to help the upcoming generation of the Naga people to grow and develop in all fairness, so that posterity remembers the present-day leadership with gratefulness and their children blessed for their wisdom.
