FNR, if it has, must share with Nagas the details of NSCN-IM's FA (political and administrative blueprint) : NNPG chief Kitovi

"Post Framework Agreement (FA) of 2015, the ground reality of the Indo-Naga political issue needed a comprehensive and inclusive solution. 

A political document cannot be kept away from the Naga people. The non-disclosure of FA raised multiple questions but nobody answered. 

This has hurt the Naga sentiments. If Rev. Dr Wati Aier, as FNR Convener, has a comprehensive post-solution political and administrative blueprint of FA, he may declare it to the Naga people for deliberation and general acceptance. " -- Kitovi says in a newspaper article. 

Kitovi : In unusual candid mood

"Political documents, in the Naga context, must first pass the scrutiny of the people," he said. The article titled, 'A note to the Forum for Naga Reconciliation on 15 years journey' also states:

"What was achieved in the last decade was remarkable but we must also introspect, turn the pages and see why we, as witnesses and signatories of a number of declarations, reneged on our promises and failed our people many times. ....

"FNR must remain fearless in the face of extreme pressure and call a spade a spade. At times Nagas have experienced eerie silence at critical hours but as empowered and anointed by tribes and civil societies to bring healing to our divided family, FNR must continue to offer intellectual critique on the rampant and disturbing commercialisation and personalisation of the Naga political issue."

Lot of expectations, yet not much on Naga Peace pact

 

"The Framework Agreement between GoI and NSCN (IM) was signed on 03rd August 2015. It took the Nagas by surprise. Perhaps FNR too was kept in the dark. The salient features are explicit; Political negotiations have successfully concluded; the two sides have understood each other's positions. The signatories understood the intricacies of the Indian system. Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Modi specifically appreciated and welcomed the NSCN(IM) leadership and men into the national mainstream. 

"At that point of time, the immediate question which struck the stakeholders was, did FNR orchestrate the entire Naga reconciliation process to facilitate GoI and one Naga negotiating group to exclusively seal the deal, without consulting the genuine stakeholders back home? 

Was the GoI misled and the Naga people fooled? Undeniably, the sudden and exclusive nature of the FA ceremony on 03rd August 2015, poured cold water on all ground-breaking FNR initiatives. 

Were all the top leaderships' prayer programs, signed declarations for forgiveness and proposals for shared future simply to spin an inclusive narrative but inwardly preparing ground to sign exclusive FA in 2015? 

We live in a cruel world and that is a reality. The non-transparent protocol of FA enforced till today is what the Naga people cannot fathom."

"Perhaps it is also a time for FNR and all Naga intellectuals to take a closer look if it is really the GOI which is delaying the Naga political solution or others toying with the people's sentiment. 

Changing goalposts to create a stalemate is a negative commitment to not resolve the Indo-Naga political issue. I am convinced that practical problems cannot be solved by emotional slogans."
