'At that stage, 'Nchemo said, 'everything seemed to be pointing to a declaration of independence.' When however the N.N.C. met the next day, all the Mokokchung members suddenly drew back and even the Angamis were undecided. Again the two viewpoints clashed and after a fierce discussion, the N.N.C. resorted to votes. The Kacha Nagas, Rengmas, the Southern Angamis and the Khonoma group voted for independence while all the rest maintained the Mokokchung decision. The next day the Rengmas and Southern Angamis lost their nerve and joined the majority. The N.N.C. then resolved to boycott Indian Independence Day and to demand once more the new clause 9. |
