โ€˜The Nagas and Indians are inseparably inter-related in many fields. We must learn to co-exist for mutual benefits,โ€™ the statement further read.

The outfit further claimed, โ€˜Nagas is a recognized entity. Nagas do not accept the Indian Constitution but Nagas will share powers based on competencies.โ€™

The outfit also called upon fellow rebel groups to shed the differences and seize the opportunity in finding the solution.

The โ€˜Framework Agreementโ€™ officially signed and sealed between the government and NSCN is the meeting point for the war-ridden Indians and the Nagas on the one hand and the uniting point for the divided Nagas on the other, it added.
