United Naga Council disowns representation by 8 Naga legislators
First Published: 13th August, 2023 20:57 IST
The UNC termed such signatures as negating the collective sentiments of the Naga populace.
The United Naga Council on Sunday clarified that the Naga legislators who had appended their signatures in the memorandum submitted to the Prime Minister on August 9 disowned their representation stating they do not carry collective aspirations and sentiments of the Nagas.
The Publicity Wing of the United Naga Council in a statement said that the UNC is devastated by the untimely move of eight (8) Naga legislators submitting representation to the Prime Minister of India along with 32 others simultaneously on the day of the Naga Peoples Rally organized in the Naga hill districts of Manipur.
The UNC termed such signatures as negating the collective sentiments of the Naga populace.
“It is worth mentioning here that the rally was organized under the aegis of the United Naga Council for exercising Government of India’s political will to resolve the long drawn Indo-Naga political conflict in the true spirit of 3’d August 2015 Framework Agreement between the Government of India and the National Socialist Council of Nagaland (NSCN)”, UNC added in the statement.
“Whilst the Nagas are all out reiterating for an inclusive, acceptable and honourable solution to the Indo-Naga political issue, submitting representation with some contradictory demands to the prime Minister of India is highly uncalled for”, it said.
“However, the UNC as the apex body representing 20 Naga tribes of Manipur feels necessitated to place on record that the Naga legislators who have appended their signatures do not carry the collective aspirations and sentiments of the Nagas and hence disowned their representation”, UNC added.
