“Thousand patriots have joined in the national movement and gave their life following the Plebiscite of 16th May 1951. It has been observed that the killings could not solve any purpose and the only way to solve the problems are through political negotiations alone, so GPRN/NSCN decided to declare cease fire with the Government of India (GOI) and was followed by political negotiations which ultimately led to the signing of the ‘Agreed Position’ on 17th November 2017 between GOI and WC, NNPGs and concluded on 31st October 2019,” Zhimomi said.
Also speaking at the programme, RM Lotha, president of GPRN/NSCN, encouraged all the newly inducted members to have positive moral character and strong determination towards the Naga political issue and its early solutions.
