Former Nagaland MinisterNuklutoshi said the presentyoung Naga minds were thattheir Naga national workers,who were presently engagedin finding a settlement to thepro tracted Naga politicalissue, must now “fu llyconcentrate and strive for themuch anticipated politicalsettlement at the earliestpossible time.”In a statement issued onFriday, the former Ministersaid the “21st Century Nagageneration is grateful to all ourpast and present Naganational workers and aredeeply indebted to them for allthe sacrifices they have madefor the Nagas.” The upcomingNaga generation also highlyappreciated their “freedomfighters’ stand on the issue ofsovereignty, but they aresatisfied with what has beenachieved thus far,” he said andfur ther remarked thosechapters would now be in the“Annals of Naga history andwill be remembered adcherished for all time to come.”Nuklutoshi passionately madeit clear that the “newgenera tion canno t waitanymore for that elusivepoliti cal settlem ent tomaterialize,” because, “onlywhen it does come, it willusher in a new d awn ofemancipation in everysphere of life in the Naga

Rise above everything to cometogether as one to support God-givenopportunity of a lifetime for the Naga

political settlement: Nuklutoshisociety which is in shamblestoday.”“Our economy is in a statusof misery and tens ofthousands of h ighlyeducated, competent Nagayouths are unemployed. Theyare restless and of tendirectionless like a boattossing on a stormy sea. Emptystomachs lead to insatiablehunger which in turn leads todeep anger and resentment,”he said. As such, looking atthe present scenario of theNaga society, their Naganational workers must ponderover it and go for the “politicalsettlement without furtherdelay.”At the same time, the Naganational workers must realizethat whatever they hadachieved “at this juncture intheir lifetime, will beappreciated andacknowledged by the Nagas,especially the upcominggeneration who understandsand sincerely wants ournational workers to retirehonorably with the politicalsettlement that is being offerednow by the Government ofIndia,” he added.Nuklutoshi believed that thenew generation knew theirnational workers had “nevercompromised on sovereigntyat any given time or situationwhatsoever.” And “comewhat may, no generation ofNaga people will ever give upour right to be sovereign as itis God-given (one),” he said.

The former Minister furtherreminded that the youngNagas seriously wanted thatthe Naga national workers tobring the political settlementto fruition. “If it (settlement)is delayed any further, therestless upcoming generationof Nagas may hold it againstthem,” he warned. Besides thesacrif ices and tremendousefforts made for so many yearsby their national workers “mayall go in vain if this goldenopportunity is missed,” headded.Nuklutoshi also called uponthe Naga society, all thestakeholders, the Nagaintellectuals, Church bodies,Hohos, NGOs, Studentorganizations, po liticianscutting across the party lines,Mother’s organizations and allNagas in the cities, towns andvillages to r ise aboveeverything and come togetheras “one to support this God-given opportunity of alifetime for the Naga politicalsettlement.”In conclusion , quoting apassage from the Bible –“There is a season and a timefor any purpose under theHeaven,” the former Ministersaid , “If we miss the busagain due to avoidable pettymisund erstandings andsquabbles among us, then itwill be another long strugglethrough uncertain times thatmay stretch to years andyears of anguish blood andtears for everyone.”
