RN Ravi said that the role of Naga leaders was important in the constitutional evolution of India.
“In the unfolding epochal story of India’s resurgence, Nagaland cannot be left behind,” he stated.
Ravi added: “Independence of India is the outcome of blood, sweat and sacrifices of millions of Indians who resisted the British rule and paid their ultimate sacrifice while doing so.”
He said that the British created “false narrative of perpetual conflict and warfare between the people of Naga Hills and Plains”.
