Dimapur: The Niki Sumi faction of the NSCN (K) made a clarion call to all the Naga tribal leaders to be more committed and active in uniting all the Naga political groups and the people at large. It said no solution to the Naga issue is likely to be achieved unless the Naga people irrespective of boundary demarcation are united for one common goal.
Addressing a coordination meeting with a delegation of Dimapur-based southern Naga civil society organisations here on Tuesday, the president of the group Niki Sumi said only the Naga tribal leaders can bring the Naga people together, which will further give more weightage to the Naga people’s voice before the government of India for the solution to the Naga political struggle.
