I am constraint to issue this Press statement (Clarification) pertaining to the allegation of Nagaland Zeliang People's Organization (NZPO), which was published in various local dailies on Oct. 2nd 2023. The statement claimed by NZPO levelling me as main accused in the Lamhainamdi issue is totally false and unsubstantial which cannot be accepted and justified under any circumstances. The issue itselfis known by the State law enforcing agency and Sumi Hoho and its imperative to serve justice in the interest of all and demanding toexpeditiously begin trial of the main...

The recent controversy over Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call for a ‘Nationwide Cleanliness Drive’ on a Sunday (1st October) is the latest instance in a series of the BJP’s subtle moves to advance its Hindu-Hindi nationalist expansionism. The deliberate attempt to downplay the significance of sacred days of Christians is in complete disregard for people’s sentiments in Nagaland and only creates suspicion and distrust of the Modi government. Under the direction of the Government of India (GoI), it has become routine to hold official events on Sundays. Only recently, the...

I welcome Women Reservation Bill although it falls short of celebration because it has been linked to decadal census and delimitation which may drag its feet. However, surely women reservation will come into effect by next State Assembly Elections and 2029 Parliamentary elections. Congress has initiated women reservation and we are constant in our commitment. We hope and believe more women participation will change the political equations altogether. The State Assemblies and Parliament need natural essence in shaping policies and in planning for the welfare of the people. We are...

The journey of Naga political history has two major events that we can recalls are "Naga plebiscite in 1951 and 16th point agreement in 1960.These two events are diametrically opposed to each other in terms of their orientations and impli- cations in which many tall Naga leaders of varied colours were involved.Of these two events,Naga plebiscite have laid down the political foundation for the Naga generations to come.

The NSCN (Khango) has issued a stern warning against Mr. Nitovi Aye, the owner of the Star Cargo Transport Agency to stop collecting revenue on behalf of the Naga Political Groups, especially in the name of the NSCN (K).

NSCN/GPRN would like to shed light on the recent incidents/issues of taxation being highlighted in the media. On the outset, NSCN/GPRN has no up-to-date knowledge that any public undertakings of business for profit has been taken up by any organization of Naga political parties as a whole. The lull of silence in the media on this matter/issue by Naga political parties has authenticated and cleared the confusion and that no Naga political parties as an organization is engaged in ownership of businesses for profit but purely members in their individual...

The NNC leadership, at one of its meetings held at Washelo in May 1960, had resolved to flush the Indian armed forces out of the Naga territory. To achieve this goal, the Naga Army attacked the 14th Assam Rifles outpost at Thuda (Phor Village) in Pochury area. The attack was undertaken by the Eastern Command 1st Brigade under the command of Major General Zuheto, along with the then 4th Battalion of Pochury Region under the command of Lt. Colonel Thorpa. It was peak monsoon season at that time and the...

On this day, the 63th Anniversary of 'Pochury Black Day,' the Naga Students' Federation stands in solemn remembrance of all the costly sacrifices made in the odyssey of the Naga struggle for self determination. Lest we forget all the "atrocities and torture" inflicted upon the Pochury people in particular and the Naga people at large by the Indian Armed Forces- when beginning from the year 1960, the Naga Army shot down an Indian Air Force plane where four of the aircraft's pilots and five crew members were captured by the...

The Teachers have utmost importance in the world of teachers and real education. It is also most important role of teachers in the fact of world teachers. The teacher's Day comes every year on 5th September as auspicious and inspiring day. I felt the teachers and association of teachers are fighting for their rights, legitimate rights; which sometimes succeeds, more often fails. But my opinion the aims and goals of teachers and association of teachers should not be limited to that. Teacher community should not to be moulded with a...

My attention was drawn to the hyped news item and a chaotic discussion on television over the fact that the central government has set up a panel headed by former President respected Shri Ram Nath Kovind to explore the possibilities of 'One Nation, One Election'. The NDA government at the centre headed by Shri Narendra Modi is noted for such extraordinary kinds of announcements. This country had to face the whimsical or Tughlaqi orders of the Prime Minister on Nov 8, 2016 when the high value currency notes were banned....
