NEW DELHI: The Nagaland Gaon Bura Federation (NGBF) has asked the NSCN (IM) — National Socialist Council of Nagaland- Isak Chishi Swu and Thuingaleng Muivah — to lay before the people the blueprint of the post-solution political and administrative structure in the State.

In a statement, the Federation called for conclusion of the Naga issue and said that as a guardian of the customary and traditional structure and usages it cannot accept a Naga solution that is ambiguous and shrouded in mystery and secrecy.

On the invitation of NSCN (IM) chairman, the NGBF attended a cordial meeting on September 4. "The position of NGBF is unchanged. The final agreement be signed as per the October 31, 2019 understanding arrived between GoI (Government of India) and the two Naga negotiating groups, FA (Framework Agreement) with NSCN (IM) and the Agreed Position with WC (Working Committee), NNPGs (Naga National Political Groups). The Nagas will not be party to any solution which is enforced without transparency," it said.

In the NGBF urged the NSCN (IM) to unite all the factions, come under single platform and also lay before the Naga people the contents and blueprint of the post-solution political and administrative structure such as the one WC, NNPGs produced before the Naga tribes and civil societies in the form of status paper on the Indo-Naga political talks.

"It will clear any doubt," the Federation said.

"There is a nefarious game plan by unprincipled and uninformed group of people who are desperately trying to limit, discredit, marginalize and muffle the traditionally honoured voice and authority of the Naga Village Chiefs," the Federation said.

"Thus, every single GB (village chief) in Nagaland is a proven man and anointed leader, having every right to knock on the door of the Chief Minister or Prime Minister on the Naga political issue. The NGBF is the legitimate offspring of Nagaland. We are committed to facilitating and ensuring honourable and acceptable political solution for the Naga people," it said.

The NGBF has urged all "rejected" organizations, destructive social media heroes to think twice before passing judgement on the NGBF because "it doesn't need a certificate from any political party or group." (IANS)
