The Naga Club (NC) has filed a petition against President Draupadi Murmu and UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres against the abolition of the Free Movement Regime (FMR) by the Central Government and the proposed fencing along the India-Myanmar border.
In a memorandum signed by 20 members of the club to the President and the UN Secretary General, the NC described the Centre's recent decision to scrap the FMR as a "crime against humanity in general and the Nagas in particular". They reiterated that the Naga Club, an institution that upholds the rights of the indigenous Naga people, was forced to seek his intervention to prevent "another systematic and organized repression by India against the Nagas".
The signatories declared that the Nagas would oppose any restrictions on their movement in their ancestral lands and the erection of any physical barrier on "an arbitrary and imaginary line" designed to divide and separate them in their places of residence.
They also emphasized that the Indo-Naga conflict is one of the enduring and prolonged conflicts till date. The signatories alleged that the conflict continues because India has refused to accept the ground reality of its commercial aggression and coercive policies such as the abolition of the FMR. He cautioned that such actions would only serve to deepen the gap of distrust in the Indo-Naga political conflict, which refuses to stop.
