KOHIMA: NSCN-IM chairman Q Tuccu has emphasized the organization’s steadfast stance against the repetition of historical mistakes by rejecting any proposed “16-point type of solution” to the Naga political issue.

Speaking at the NSCN-IM’s “Republic Day” program held at Camp Hebron, located approximately 35 kilometres from Dimapur in Nagaland, Tuccu highlighted the challenging negotiations with the Indian government, which sought to impose its own agenda.

Encouraging the people to uphold the essence of the “Naga Republic”, Tuccu urged them to continue the timeless tradition of asserting Naga independence and political identity.
