The Naga Rising (TNR) today expressed its support for the yearlong 75th celebration of the Naga Plebiscite Day which includes a commemorative event to be held on May 16 at Khuochiezie, Kohima local ground.
“Nagas should reason and unite under one flag. We stand in support of unity and reconciliation amongst the Naga people. The initiative of The Naga Plebiscite Commission to ‘collectively mark’ the historic 75th Naga Plebiscite Day is a call for oneness that should resonate across the Naga homeland,” stated the TNR in a press release issued on May 15.
It considered the commemoration as an opportunity for Nagas to reason and unite under one flag and to acknowledge the sovereignty of God over the land and people.

“Though our differences exist, in what has been a long, difficult and painful journey, we must realize we are all in this for the same cause. The Naga National Movement can no longer remain divided. Let us uphold the oneness of our sacred cause,” remarked the TNR.
It expressed hope that the 75th Naga Plebiscite year will be a time of reckoning—to fulfill God’s promises for the Nagas and that “we as a people can reclaim the vision and find a unified voice to lead us to our rightful place”.
