Naga legislators call for inclusive reconciliation process

[1]

With some organisations still to respond to the FNR initiative for a unified voice on the Naga issue, Nagaland legislators have appealed to all Naga underground outfits to participate in the on-going reconciliation process.

The Joint Legislature Forum (JLF) on the Naga political issue attended by all legislators from both ruling and opposition parties called by the assembly speaker on Friday deliberated on the current political situation and agreed on 'a number of resolutions', focusing on the re-conciliation process, it said in a statement here on Friday.

Top leaders of NSCN(I-M), GPRN/NSCN and a faction of NNC/FGN after meetings at Dimapur last month had signed the Naga Concordant aiming to form a single organization having a unified voice on the Naga issue.

However, NSCN(K) and other factions of NNC were yet to respond to the process initiated by the FNR, comprising churches, tribal councils and civil society organizations.

"The JLF takes this opportunity to make further appeal to all Naga nationalists groups to come forward and participate in the process of re-conciliation, under the banner of the Forum for Naga Re-conciliation to make the re-conciliation process inclusive," the statement said.
