“The Naga Hoho strongly believes that, any dispute can be mutually resolved through peaceful means. Through violence, there is no means to resolve any differences but only leads to further destructions and loss of lives,” it added.
Naga Hoho stated that there has been a long pending issue between the two villages which needs to be resolved amicably through “Nagas traditional” way.
It pointed out that at a time when every Naga is waiting for a peaceful political solution, there should be no “misunderstanding” or “hatred” among the family members but instead the bond of brotherhood should be strengthened.
