The
apex Naga body of Senapati district has termed the claim of the KSDC as
'unacceptable and fabricated'. The NPO has asked the Kuki organization
to immediately withdraw the map to prevent confusion among the general
public.
"Defining
and demarcating its boundary without any historical facts is disturbing
and provoking. Moreover, claiming its rights over the land which are
within the ownership of the Nagas is all the more resenting and immature
on the part of the KSDC.
"Therefore,
it is advised that, the KSDC ceases to project all artificial claims
for public interest and communal harmony," the NPO advised.
"The
Nagas in Senapati district since time immemorial have been defending
its ancestral identity, land and resources, and it will continue to do
so if asked for", it asserted. While respecting the genuine aspirations
and movement of KSDC for a separate administration, it should be clear
to all, that the Nagas will not part an inch of its ancestral land.
Making tall claims without any ownership and historical basis will only
hamper the pursue for peaceful co-existence of different communities.
The
NPO advised the KSDC to be instead aware of anti-tribal forces within
the State Government that seek to jeopardize the peaceful movement for
resolving tribal issues in Manipur.
Hitting
out at organisations based in the valley, the NPO said that commenting
on the Naga and Kuki movements through ethnic lines and past records,
such organizations have been instrumental only in inciting communal
tension rather than bridging the gap between the difference among the
tribals and the State Govt.
The
NPO endorses the decision of the UNC for Alternative Arrangement
through a peaceful parting with the majority community. It said that
harmony among the brothers can be achieved with.
"Moreover,
the step-motherly attitude of the State Government towards the tribal
movement is obvious and visible by past and recent policies in the form
of endorsing the communal voice of the valley based organizations which
claims to defend the integrity of the state while the tribals are
neglected, discriminated and repressed everyday," the NPO said.
