"Naga National struggle continues to inspire across generations, and today as we stand on the cusp of realising the long envisioned solution to the decades long Naga Political issue, we acknowledge the sacrifices of the untold Naga National Workers, past and present," Congress MP from Nagaland, Supongmeren Jamir said in a statement.
He said, "The time has come for us Nagas, to stand in truth to walk the extra mile and ensure that the hard fought agreements reached between the Naga National groups and the Government of India, namely, the 3rd August 2015 dated "Framework Agreement" and the 17th November 2017 dated "Agreed Position", is not jeopardised".
He also said that both these preliminary agreements should be "utilised as the basis to realise the long desired aspirations of the Naga people".
"While we also acknowledge the courage and wisdom of successive Central Governments' that cumulatively enabled the inking of these momentous accords, the shared journey is however, far from over.
The arduous journey will come to a full circle only when the present Central Government honors the sanctity of these agreements by implementing it without any further delay.
"Delayed implementation, risks and undermines the trust and hope that have been sacrificed and built over decades of negotiations.
It is imperative to respect the core principles and objectives laid out in these Historic Agreements and recognise the rights and identity of us- Nagas.
"We expect and appeal the Government to implement and respond to the Agreements without any further delay as it has been for nearly a decade," he said.
