Dimapur, Aug 14 (UNI) NSCN (IM) general secretary today reiterated that Nagalim history, territory, sovereignty, national flag, constitution and integration of Naga contiguous areas are non-negotiable.
In his speech on the “79th Naga Independence Day”, Muivah reminded the Naga people of the 23rd year of signing of the Amsterdam Joint Communique on July 11, 2002, and the 10th year of signing of the Framework Agreement on August 3, 2015.
“These agreements speak loud and clear that the Nagas are not lost people,” he stressed.
He said the political space and opportunity given by the Indo-Naga political peace process and the signing of these two agreements must be harvested to conclude a negotiated political settlement.
Muivah added that with the signing of these two agreements in the current political peace process, the Government of India recognised and rectified the contentious issues on Nagalim history and sovereignty.
Expressing regret over the “misunderstanding”, he said, the Government of India recognised and acknowledged the unique history and position of the Nagas. Muivah said it accepted that sovereignty lies with the people and agreed on sharing “sovereign power”.
Muivah further said in the Framework Agreement, both parties mutually agreed that an enduring inclusive new relationship of peaceful coexistence of two entities can be realised by the honouring the Amsterdam Joint Communique and the Framework Agreement in letter and spirit.
He thanked all Naga tribes and civil society organisations from different places for standing up firmly to the occasion in times of conflict and peace.
He also thanked the international organisations that acted as the main pillars in the international campaign on Nagalim.
