On the eve of Naga Independence Day, the Yaruiwo, in his message said Nagas have completed 76 years ever since Naga independence was declared on August 14, 1947 and it marks the day when Nagas took decision to freely determine their political status and pursue their economic, social and cultural development as provided by the UN Resolution and reshape their political destiny.
“We have come a long way to uphold our sovereign identity as a nation”, he stated.
On this day, Tuccu also saluted the freedom fighters who gave the courage to face the situation to carry on with their struggle to defend their political identity as independent nation. “Our freedom fighters have the heart to speak up against the British Government and British India Government about the political rights of the Nagas as sovereign people”, he added.
The NSCN (IM) leader further stated, “Our liberation movement was based on the principles of truth and that has been our source of strength throughout. It was a struggle for human rights and dignity”” he added.
He also bowed to Mahatma Gandhi who had said, “Nagas have every right to be independent” and said Nagas are heavily indebted to him for his courage to stand up for the historical and political rights of the Nagas.
Tuccu extended happy Independence Day greetings to all Nagas and urged them to remain faithful and loyal to the motherland.
