PRESS STATEMENT

CHq Hebron, the 26^th August, 2022                                                                                                                                          

It was a historic moment today when nearly seven thousand (7000) Naga national workers of the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) from sixteen (16) regions of Nagaland state, both civil and army gathered at Agri Expo, Dimapur, Nagaland under the agenda, “Reaffirming of ‘One people, one nation’”.

This Co-ordination meeting of the Naga National Workers from Nagaland State was necessitated as many divisive elements/groups are mouth louding for Naga solution only for Nagaland state and ready to forego the Naga National Flag and Constitution in the name of Naga solution. This is tantamount to selling out the Naga National identity as stoutly defended by our forefathers.

Significantly, this is against the national principle of “one people one nation” that was laid down by our great Naga freedom fighters.

In the background of this treacherous turn of development, Naga National Workers from Nagaland state was compelled to deliberate on the situation in order to save the Naga nation. Ino. Q. Tuccu, Chairman, NSCN in his speech said “Nagas are one wherever they are, one common goal, one issue”.

He also made a pointed response to the cry of the public for the delay of Naga solution, “We cannot give away our rights for the sake of Naga solution and we can never compromise the Nagas’ rights”.

At the end of the day the members adopted a “Solemn Declaration”. Copy attached herewith.

MIP, NSCN/GPRN

                                                           SOLEMN DECLARATION
