The National People’s Party (NPP) Nagaland State Unit celebrated the 79th Independence Day at its State Headquarters in Dimapur with dignity, unity, and patriotic spirit. The programme drew State officials, leaders from the party’s frontal wings — Youth, Women, and Minority — as well as district-level functionaries, senior members, and committed grassroots workers from various parts of the state.
The day’s proceedings began with the ceremonial hoisting of the National Flag by K James Vizo, Vice President of NPP Nagaland, who unfurled the Tricolour on behalf of the State Unit.
In his address, Vizo called upon party members to deeply value the sacrifices of the nation’s freedom fighters, who endured hardship, imprisonment, and even death to secure India’s independence from colonial rule.
“Freedom was not gifted to us — it was earned with courage, resilience, and sacrifice. As inheritors of that legacy, we must honor it by serving our people with dedication and integrity,” he said.
Emphasizing the uniqueness of NPP’s leadership and its inclusive approach, Vizo highlighted that the party stands committed to protecting the rights of all communities, particularly minorities, while ensuring equitable development across the state.
He reminded cadres that unity, discipline, and mutual respect are essential for a political movement to grow strong and credible in the eyes of the public.

“Under the NPP banner, our vision is not limited to speeches or promises. We look to bring tangible development, good governance, and a leadership style that puts people first, just as our party has demonstrated in other states,” Vizo added.
He urged party workers to embody values of love, humility, and service, becoming role models in their respective localities.
Following the flag hoisting, the gathering moved indoors for a brief but purposeful meeting.
Ranjit Singhvi, General Secretary (IPR & Spokesperson), addressed the members, stressing that the strength of a political organization lies in its internal coordination and discipline. He encouraged every unit — from state to district to grassroots — to work in perfect synergy to realize the party’s political objectives, with each member upholding party protocols and principles.
State Secretary, Khehoshe Sema also spoke, reminding the gathering that as a party deeply rooted in Christian values, members should seek God’s guidance in all undertakings. He called upon the cadres to reflect the qualities of truth, justice, and service in their daily actions, both in politics and in personal life.
The programme concluded with fellowship where members renewed their resolve to strengthen NPP’s presence and serve the people of Nagaland with vision, integrity, and unity of purpose.
