While acknowledging K.G. Kenye’s statement where he categorically uttered on a high-level understanding between State Government and the ENPO on FNT, the ENPO asserted that there is nothing that transpired/conspired between the ENPO and the MHA. The organisation also added, “the same will be an open book before the tripartite table.”

“The ENPO also declares that no new draft on FNT had been formulated but had duly inserted its stance/comment under the relevant column and para as envisaged on the MoS draft and the State Government’s Comments as follow up of the last tripartite talk.  The ENPO is also optimist that both the MHA and the Government of Nagaland shall not deviate from the basic principle as envisaged in both the MoS draft and the State Government’s comment. On the contrary the MHA must also ensure that the offered FNT must espouse utmost integrity that truly reflects the sincerity of the GoI in letter and spirit on the offered FNT,” clarified the ENPO.

The organisation also acknowledged the positive stance of the State Government to partner with the ENPO ensuring that “the region is no longer subjugated under any political drama”.

“The State Government must play a pro-active role in felicitating/elevating the Eastern Nagas at par with the rest of the State as boldly asserted by Chief Minister of Nagaland at several occasions. May our almighty God guide our leaders and protect its people,” added the organisation seeking a special prayer request to all Eastern churches to continuously uphold the stance of the ENPO on FNT.
