Nagaland Nagas

Nagas of Nagaland can’t survive under Pan Naga Hoho: KK Sema

(KK.Sema) 

TDT Bereau

DIMAPUR, June 22,2022:  POINTING out two competency clauses of the Framework Agreement (FA), K K Sema, retired bureaucrat, on Tuesday alleged that in the Naga nation, the Nagas of Nagaland cannot survive as the Pan Naga Hoho will control the upper house, and the Nagas of Manipur will also become the citizens of the Naga nation despite no integration of lands.

He stated that the NSCN (IM) cannot decide the fate of the Nagas without first discussing the FA competency clauses, and that it cannot be implemented in Nagaland if it does not want to show all of the clauses.

Sema was speaking during a consultative meeting of civil society organisations (CSO) and various tribal councils of Nagaland convened by the Nagaland GBs’ Federation (NGBF) at Hotel Saramati in Dimapur.

He added that the flag and constitution held no significance without integration, and that NSCN (IM)’s Yehzabo (Constitution) is a model of communism, and if it is implemented, the government will control all the land and public property.

He said the NSCN (IM) and Government of India were on opposing sides on the issue of ‘shared sovereignty’, adding that the flag and constitution were ‘part and parcel of sovereignty’ and ‘does not require permission from anyone’.

He further alleged that the NSCN (IM) began demanding the flag and constitution only after signing the FA.

Sema said Nagas of Nagaland affiliated with the NSCN (IM) had ‘no idea’ what was going on in the group’s top brass because all the important control points and decision makers consisted of ‘Southern brothers’, and the “words of Muivah” were revered as laws.

He also stated that the presence of too many organisations has confused the Nagas’ voice, and some tribes need to take the responsibility.

Public referendum needed

Former President of Eastern Nagaland People’s Organisation, Kekongchim Yimchunger, said the ‘early Naga solution’ phrase was not a new thing and asked how long they were going to talk about an early solution.

He said closed-door meetings and issuing resolutions were not going to solve the problem. ‘Instead, they should call the public in open ground for a public referendum and with the public mandate, they should move forward,’ he added.

He also pointed out that no one knows the competency of the agreement and if both the negotiating parties are really working on behalf of the Nagas, they should show their competency to the public within a specific time frame or they should not expect any cooperation from the people.

‘Fruits of Nagaland meant for Nagas of Nagaland’

Meanwhile, former NLA Speaker, Z Lohe said that the fruits of Nagaland were meant for the Nagas of Nagaland and if others were allowed to take the fruits from state continuously, the Nagas of the state would starve.

He added that on May 29, 2022, the United Naga Council (UNC) of Manipur issued a resolution after an emergency meeting at Senapati not to pursue early Naga solution, which the NTC had taken serious note of.

He said the ‘Nagas of Manipur feel that no solution is better for them, and there is nothing wrong about it’. Similarly, Nagas of Nagaland should also have the authority to adopt what is best for the Naga people, he added.

Lohe expressed that they have put the model of Naga integration in the laboratory of Nagaland and according to his observation, this model is found to be ‘destructive and unpalatable in a democratic world of the Nagas’.

‘As of now, population integration exists, and it is temporary but if this type of integration is regularised, it will be destructive for Nagaland,’ he said while citing the need of sending a strong voice to Delhi and Naga political negotiators, calling for a solution before election (assembly).

More than 100 participants representing 27 CSO and tribal councils of Nagaland attended the meeting.

The house also unanimously adopted the following four-point resolution during the meeting:

1. To press upon the government of India and the two Naga negotiating groups to conclude the ongoing negotiations on the basis of the understanding that has been reached between the GoI and the Naga negotiators on October 31, 2019.

2. Constitute an action committee under the nomenclature of Nagaland People’s Action Committee to carry out the voice of the people till they get the desired result; to ask the apex tribal hohos to officially delegate one representative each to be a member of the committee.

3. To stage a public rally and pursue other follow up actions.

4. The Nagas of Nagaland would stand as one entity and collectively react to any discriminative action meted out to any individual or community by any element in self-defense.

             PRESS RELEASE

                              - By RNSO and RNYOM

Apply Hill Areas Land Ownership Law.

IT has been 50 years since Hon'ble President of our Indian Republic V.V. Giri on 20th June,1972 signed the Manipur Legislative Assembly (Hill Areas Committee) Order, 1972 and 14th Chairman (HAC) assumed Office. The sacred and clear law as envisaged in the Presidential Order to safeguard the interest of the hill areas of Manipur including the land ownership drawn from ancient time remain mostly on papers only for reasons best known to the hill MLAs and the Government of Manipur. The Hon'ble Governor of Manipur is the link to safeguard the law enshrined under Article 371C and to report to the President of India if the Hill Areas Committee (HAC) was proactive and to appraise regarding the administration of the hill areas of Manipur.

Now, it is high time, the HAC in exercise of the power and responsibility assigned by the Constitution, raise the issue while the Hon'ble Governor in turn communicates the same to the Hon'ble President of India. The law enshrines in Article 371(C) of Indian Constitution providing special provision for the legislation and administration of the hill areas of Manipur in the form of HAC has become vulnerable to be sabotaged even from the side of the Head of the State Government if not taken care of in time. The Hon'ble Chief Minister, N.Biren Singh made an unfortunate remark recently on the hills as, "belonging to Mother Nature and not to any particular community". If the Chief Minister is serious, his statement is bereft of logic and venomous as for our part, we acknowledge the land ownership rights of the valley people on Imphal/Manipur Valley as they inherit from "Mother Nature" created by God.

The shrinking state of HAC and servitude countenance of the hill MLAs have brought the hill areas into such unfortunate situation where their very survival and identity are being threatened. The Chairman of HAC during the last half century time were silent on every issue affecting the hill peoples. The 20 members of HAC both ruling and opposition together opted to stand aloof when the people, the CSOs cried out from time to time for justice. The hill people need not send up representatives anymore to the Assembly if subservient elements remained unchecked. The indigenous hill peoples from ancient time owned lands and administered well without outside interferences. The Britishers knew this fact honestly and put a separate mode of administration to safeguard the interest of the hill people, took cognizance of the freedom of self-determination and the indigenous tradition of land ownership and land holding system. The Britishers knew that the hill people ought to enjoy their habitual way of life lest any alien rule of law strange to the traditional way of life should harm their means of sustenance and survival. Over and above this, it is a recognised established truth known by everyone that the traditional village boundaries of the hill areas have been maintained and safeguarded throughout the centuries and even the erstwhile Maharajas of Manipur deeply respected the rightful traditional boundaries of the indigenous hill people. It is learnt through history and elders that, sometimes the Maharajas used to carry out certain expeditions or sporadic raids in some hill pockets to force the villagers to pay tributes and forced labour who were ill-equipped to challenge the Maharajas and his men physically those days. However, the Maharajas never tried to encroach in hill areas for permanent settlement having deep sense of respect to the rightful owners of the land. This is a historical fact which nobody can deny.    

It is to state that only the "Autonomous Districts" status with Sixth Schedule or any other mode of genuine autonomous separate hill administration with specific hill land law can safeguard the land and resources of hill people. The land ownership as birth right can only sustain the hill tribes. Frequent attacks on the hills areas and land rights inherited as God given land ownership can no longer be tolerated. The dishonest policy of the State leaders facilitated by vulnerable hills MLAs as seen in Manipur Hill Areas District Council Act, 1971 (amended from time to time), clearly reflected the discrimination despite the just law provided by Article 371(C) of the Indian Constitution. The name given outside the actual Act as "Autonomous District Council" was a mockery. And yet again the Manipur Hill Areas Autonomous District Councils Act, 2000 was abruptly repealed in 2006 and the 3rd Amendment Act, 2008 omitted the term " Autonomous" and made it sure that the power and functions of the sham ADCs are even degraded further than the Act of 1971. The HAC and the right thinking leaders were helpless spectators to these hill tribals’ rights taken away systematically.

The Manipur Legislative Assembly in 1989 passed a Resolution in the disguised Bill named, "Money Bill " which incorporated the hill areas under the ambit of MLR & LR Act, 1960 (Patta System). Only 2 MLAs(J.F.Rothangliana - KNA and Ngulkhohao - MRP) walked out to the well of the house in protest. The then, HAC Chairman, I.D. Dijuanang(HAC-15/11/1988-24/02/1995) wrote to the Governor (Burney) who did not sign that and thus, the bill failed through from becoming an Act. Only those three HAC members stood up for the hill people but the remaining members latter allowed the introduction of Patta System in the hill areas through the back door (against the Act meant for Valley alone).

We are strongly opposed to the State policy of violating the just laws and the sinister designs to disrobe the land ownership rights of the hill people. We argue the Governor, the Chief Minister, HAC Chairman and all the right thinking legislators to promptly; (i) apply the laws connected to land ownership of the hill people of Manipur, (ii) re-introduce the Manipur Hill Areas Autonomous District Council (Amendment) Bill, 2021.

The hill people have been thinking that Go To Hills slogan was launched by Honble CM, N. Biren Singh to bring healing touch to the long deprived hill people of Manipur but now many hill people begin to fear that under the shadow of such alluring slogan(s), the indigenous hill people may end up losing their lands under the disguise of Forest Reserved Areas and Forest Protected Areas, etc. since MLR and LR Acts cannot be bulldozed in hill areas. Has the State Government followed the provisions of Indian Forest Act, 1927 (amended from time to time) while declaring Reserved Forests and Protected Areas in the hill areas of Manipur? If so, produce them in white paper. If the State Government claims to have followed them, show us that the provisions enshrined in Article 3 and Article 4 Clause 1, Sub-Clauses a, b & c given in Chapter II and Article 29, Clauses 1, 2, & 3 elaborated in Chapter IV of the Indian Forest Act, 1927 or any other relevant provisions of the Act have been followed in letter and spirit. If the State Government imposes anti-hill people policies, love and harmony that have been generated between the hill and valley people in the last few years might go in vain and this has the potential to jeopardize the peaceful co-existence of the indigenous people of the State.

We would like to remind the Government of Manipur that the hill people will not remain as mute spectators if their fundamental rights and identities are being threatened.

Father's Day

 

HAPPY FATHER'S  Day 2022

Date, history, significance, celebration of fatherhood

Happy Father's Day 2022:

       HERE's  all you need to know about the date, history and significance of Father's Day which was initially proposed to complement Mother’s Day celebrations and now honours fatherhood, paternal bonds and the role fathers play in society

Fathers are our first love, the last hero of our life, who teach strength in silence and since the value of a loving father has no price, it is commemorated in most parts of the world on the third Sunday of June as Father's Day. First proposed in 1909 to complement Mother’s Day celebrations, Father's Day is an opportunity to show your dad how much he means to you and the role he has played in shaping your life.

Date:

The third Sunday of June is celebrated as Father’s Day in the US and while India follows it, many other countries including Portugal, Spain, Croatia, Italy etc celebrate Father’s Day on March 19. Though it is majorly a western tradition, Father’s Day celebrations have garnered much prominence in India and several other parts of the world too.

This year, Father's Day  is celebrated on June 19, 2022.

History:

Father’s Day was founded in USA, at the Spokane in Washington YMCA, in 1910 by Sonora Smart Dodd. That year, Father’s Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910. Sonora heard about how Anna Jarvis had founded Mother’s Day in honour of her mother and told the pastor of her Church that there should be something similar to celebrate fathers too.

Sonora’s father was Civil War veteran William Jackson Smart, a single parent from Arkansas who raised six children. Sonora was hoping that Father’s Day celebrations would be held on June 5, which was her father’s birthday but the Church’s time constraints ended up pushing this day and the celebration was deferred to the third Sunday of June.

Significance and celebration:

On Father’s Day each year, children acknowledge and appreciate their fathers and father figures who play an important role in their lives, be it emotionally, mentally or even financially. On this day, children understand the importance of the role of a father in one’s life and acknowledge the contribution of fathers to their own families and society at large.

Children buy or make presents for their father or father-like figure, write and draw cards, spend the day engaging in activities that can be enjoyed with one’s father be it hiking, fishing or just sitting around watching some television series. Since most kids have a closer bond with their mothers, this day definitely helps forge a closer relation with one’s dad. Father’s Day is a celebration of fathers, honouring fatherhood, paternal bonds and the role fathers play in society.

TRUTH MUST BE TOLD

IN view of the unrelenting attack on the Naga national political issue by some people from different quarters, the National Socialist Council of Nagalim (NSCN) has to state its position loud and clear to the people : Rh. Raising

EVERY sensible Naga, even friends and foes understands that the case of the Nagas is a national resistance movement against the aggressor-states. It is neither a secessionist movement nor adomestic problem of India as wantonly propagated by the aggressors. A wrong view comes from a wrong perspective. Seeking political solution from the Indian constitutional perspective is tantamount to giving a wrong treatment to a patient. Solution of the problem will come only when it is viewed from the correct perspective.

The crux of the Indo-Naga problem is GOI not dealing with the issue in the manner that demands political solution. As people and their land are inseparable from each other, so people and their rights, their identity, their culture, their history, politics and religion are also inseparably interwoven. We are created Nagas with Naga materials by God, the Creator of heaven and earth and that we must live as Nagas, speak as Nagas, act as Nagas and die as Nagas. Recognize it or not by the aggressors, Nagas are also a nation among nations. The Naga nation is our identity and our belongingness and no one should doubt about it.

The accepted truth is that all men and women are born free and no one is born slave. Slavery is but the creation of man. However, freedom is not the end of the matter; freedom to choose life or death, God or Baal is the heart of the matter and the end of the matter. Thus said the Lord God of the Hebrews, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.” Exodus: 9:1. The Israelites led by Moses chose God, the Author of life. Those who chose God chose life and freedom. But those who chose Baal looked back to the accursed world of slavery in Egypt and perished.

The Nagas begun their resistance movement from their unshakable rock of national principle and that it will conclude there. Principle is seed. As all trees comes from the seeds, so all nationstates come from their national principles. This takes us to the point that Naga state should come from the Naga principle.

There is no early solution or delayed solution as some people talk of. All solutions are naturally principle-based. The past agreements or accords could not bring solution in our land because
they were not principle-based. Nagas should not repeat the past mistakes. Some other people talk of development of our land by others. No doubt, we NSCN are also for development, but we are for power to develop our land by ourselves. NSCN focuses on power to make money for development. Politics makes development; politics makes money.

There are also people who are fond of talking high of colonial power who they call high command. But politics of the NSCN is to decide the future of the Nagas by the Nagas themselves. Nagas are the master of their world.
In the matter of solution they also say ‘something is better than nothing.’ For NSCN any agreement small or big is considerable if it is transitional to the final goal, otherwise no accord or agreement is far better than accord of treason.

On the question of sovereignty we have to tell to the people that sovereignty does not exist outside the people, it is with the people. It is the soul of our nationhood. The principle of democracy says ‘sovereignty is with the people.’ It is one of the main agreed points of the Framework Agreement.

Nagas are the worst victims of ‘divide and rule, ‘define and rule policy’ of the aggressors. We are divided and placed in different administrative units so that we are reduced to a negligible minority and colonized. We have suffered ruthless oppressions in the hands of the colonial power and their agents for decades. We Nagas fight back the aggressors because we don’t want to die. We must live and are determined to live to fulfill our mission on earth. The Naga people know too well that the present Nagaland state is a political bait, not manna.

We Nagas are made to live with shame and humiliation in our divided land. We must live together; we must work together for our common cause. And therefore, integration of all Naga ancestral domains under one political roof is a must, not a choice. It is said and we have to repeat that Flag and constitution are ingredients of the recognized sovereignty and unique history of the Nagas. Flag and constitution cannot exist apart from the Naga people. They are symbols of our identity and hallmarks of our nationhood.

Last but not the least, a political organization or a political party or a political leadership may be mandated by a people to fight for their cause or advocate for their cause. But no organization or party or leadership in history is ever mandated by the people to sell out the right of the people. Treason is the work of traitors and traitors don’t represent the people and issue of the people. Traitor and collaborator are two faces of the same coin.

MIP Press Release

 

GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF NAGALIM
                    Ministry of Kilo Affairs

  CHq Hebron, the 1st June, 2022

THE BATTLE TO DECIDE OUR FUTURE:

IN the battle between the Philistines and the Israelites, Goliath, the champion of the Philistines said to the Israelites, “Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me. If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him, and kill him, then you shall be our servants, and serve us.” 1 Sam. 17: 8 & 9.

Today, the Nagas are in the process of entering into a final agreement with the Government of India, which will be a decisive battle for the Nagas. If we win, our national future is saved, but if we lose, everything of us will fall. We are looking for an amicable and honorable solution without betraying our principle. We are fully aware of the fact that any kind of agreement that betrays the principle is no solution. This is our repeated reminder to the Naga people and the Government of India as well.

If the root of a tree is cut off, the tree, the branches, the leaves, the flowers and the fruits die naturally. Can we expect anything good if our national principle is murdered?

If our principle is murdered everything of us – our sovereign right, our history, our politics,
our culture, our identity, our territory, our religion and future will fall and nothing will stand to keep our national identity alive.

Our national principle is the foundation and center of our resistance movement, the bases
of political negotiation and solution. Our relations with others will also be founded on this solid ground.

The Naga people are definitely for solution, a solution that can protect and safeguard their national future. Therefore, they condemned the past agreements that were made at the expense of the national principle.

The future of a people is made by their decisions. All the nation-states today are the products of decisions made by the respective peoples and nations.

In the march for their final destination, the Nagas have faced a number of crucial moments where they took national decision and thereby saved their future.

The free existence of the Nagas was threatened by the intrusion of the British colonial forces in 1832 where they occupied a part of Naga territory. However, the rest remained as free as ever.

On the eve of the British departure, the Naga people took a decisive decision and declared their independence on the 14th August, 1947. It was the right decision taken in the right time.

In 1950, the Indian Constituent Assembly invited the Nagas to join the Union of India, but the Naga people out rightly rejected the invitation. That historic decision saved the future of the Nagas.

In 1960, a section of Nagas made an agreement with the Government of India called the 16 Point Agreement, betraying the Naga national principle. But it was rejected and condemned by the Naga people.

On the 11th November, 1975, another agreement called ‘the Shillong Accord’ was made to sign within the parameter of the Indian constitution. At that crucial point of time, a national assembly was convened by Messrs. Isak Chishi Swu and Th. Muivah, the then NNC Vice-president and General Secretary on the 16th August, 1976.The National Assembly condemned the Shillong Accord as a sell out and reaffirmed the national principle. Had it not been condemned by the national assembly and saved the nation, the history and the future of the Nagas would have been murdered by that very accord of treason.

The future of the Nagas is threatened every now and then by the aggressors. History speaks of how a colonial power used the native people to fight against the native people. In the case of the Nagas, all of us have witnessed how the aggressors used the Nagas to fight against the Nagas. What a diabolic policy it was and it is still being seen today with more divisive venom.

Finally, the Government of India and NSCN had signed the historic ‘Framework Agreement’ on the 3rd of August, 2015, the content of which is self-explanatory.

NSCN leaders have categorically stated time and again that they will uphold the Framework Agreement in letter and spirit. But the representatives of the government of India have started giving wrong interpretation in order to confuse the common people. We too feel apprehensive about the clandestine plot of imposing another accord on the Nagas or hijacking the issue through their surrogates.

The Nagas are again placed at a critical juncture where they have to make a decision to save their national future or perish. This is going to be the turning point of history. And now is the time to decide our destiny.
