Imphal, January 21: The Naga Hoho is contemplating to hold a "symbolic Naga Integration Day" in all the Naga inhabited areas.

Informing this during a press conference with journalists from the north-east region at the training programme, Naga Hoho general secretary, Dr John Murry, said this was to show to the world that Nagas are one and united.

He, however, refused to divulge the date of the programme.

Reiterating that it was actively working to bring all Nagas under a common political umbrella, Dr Murry said the Hoho would go ahead in its endeavor to bring a solution to the over five-decade old political problem.

Later, Dr Murry further maintained that the "will" of majority would be supreme in any decision making and stated his organization was only facilitating the ongoing peace process and was not taking part at negotiating table.

Dr Murry's comment came at a crucial time when both the factions of NSCN are having ceasefire with the Government of India.

Appreciating Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Dr Murry said the prime minister's mature statement during his visit to Kohima in recognizing about the uniqueness of Naga history was a big step and a major boost towards the ongoing peace process.

The hoho leader further praised the DAN government for being co-operative and sincere in its effort, both in letter and spirit to solve the Naga political problem.
