The United Naga Council (UNC) seeks prayers for ‘alternative arrangement’ after Nagas in Manipur severed all political ties with the Manipur government
Imphal, SepTember 11 (NNN): The United Naga Council (UNC) has sought the support of the church in the organization’s endeavor to secure the “alternative arrangement” after Nagas in Manipur severed all political ties with the Manipur government. In a missive each dispatched to all the churches under the Naga Christian Forum and its units, the UNC appealed them ‘to pray so that the UNC demands are achieved’. The task ahead of the Naga people for securing the alternative arrangement will be arduous and painstaking with hardships and sufferings strewn on the way, it stated. “We will need a lot of resources and moral strength to build up the momentum of the movement. But we are firmly of the belief that with the Lord on our side and with prayerful endeavors, we will succeed in freeing ourselves from the yoke of suppression and exploitation”.
“As you are aware, the Nagas in Manipur have declared the severance of ties with the government of Manipur in the Naga Peoples’ Convention held on the 1st July, 2010, and the vacuum in governance and administration is being demanded to be filled up with an alternative arrangement by the Government of India in consultation with the Naga people at the earliest possible time,” said the UNC’s letter to the churches.
"We are therefore reaching out through this letter to request all the churches under your association/regional Organization for prayer support so that the grace of the Lord will abide with our rightful struggle. We also request your association/ regional organization to kindly organize a special service offering towards the peoples’ movement which is being spearheaded by the United Naga Council as token of solidarity and revert back to us on or before 12/9/2010, the second Sunday of September, 2010," the Naga body said.
