The Nagas refused to join the Union of India when INC Delegates met NNC Leaders at Kohima in May 1947.
The Naga Club has submitted Memorandum to Simon Commission in 1929 stating that Nagas should not be included under Reformation of India.
NNC sent a delegation to Delhi in July 1947 and conveyed the decision of the Nagas not to join Union of India. Delegation also met Mahatma Gandhi and Gandhi said, 'Nagas have every right to be independent Nation'.
NNC declared Naga Independence on 14 August 1947. In 1951, NNC conducted plebiscite where 99.9% of the Nagas voted against joining India.
Nagaland got statehood in 1963, but without the consent of the Nagas. At no point of time did the Nagas decided to join Union of India. Therefore, the Naga armed groups or Leaders like Muivah, Khaplang or Adino are not Rebels, Cessesionist, Insurgents, Seperatist or whatever the Media and India Government called them. They are Naga Nationalist leaders fighting for Naga Sovereignty.
During last 7 decades of conflict, many important developments, events and changes has taken place. At the same time, the perception and mindset of the Nagas have changed now. The Nagas sincerly wants early solution and peace in their land.
Therefore, the negotiation between Nagas and GoI was under process. Every sane persons must understand that the talk, though not disclosed, is based on Nagas to join the union of India through special arrangement, acceptable to both parties.
Therefore, be it Meteis, Assamese, BJP or anybody opposing the Naga leader, Th. Muivah's visit to Nagas land are in fact, anti-India and doesn't want Nagas to be a part of India. And if Government of India will bow down to such elements, then Nagas must be left alone.
Right is Might!
